Better known to Aggies as William D. Fitch Parkway! I'm sure this scene is pretty familiar to you if you've been to town in the past 15 years.

For you season ticket holders, when are the tickets usually delivered?
I ask as I live in Austin and want to buy tickets for the series here. However, there are hardly any tickets available so my assumption is the longhorn season ticket holders haven't received them yet.

They usually come about 3 weeks before Opening Day.210 said:

Weber "Das Keller Haus"
(In Back)
Fredericksburg, Texas
This simple, one-room limestone outbuilding was constructed in 1903 by stonemason Emil Weber. He built the structure, which sat over a cellar, for storing vegetables, bacon, sausage, and wine. One of Weber's sons, Werner E. Weber (d. 1974), a woodcarver, used the building for his workshop. He designed altars and religious pieces for many area churches, and also carved a lectern on display in the National Cathedral at Washington, D.C.

18F with 5.1" of sleet/snow/freezing rain on the ground. I need a new snow shovel. I broke the plastic one in my car this morning shoveling the sidewalk.Quote:

My sidewalk. There's a quarter inch of ice at the bottom of the snow. I feel for the UPS man tomorrow (am expecting a package).
I used to leave an envelope with hand warmers for the delivery guy when we would get packages when it was like that in Montana.
That's a nice thing to do. My concern is that he's going to bust his a** on the ice. The ice is a problem all over town though. I'm sure he'll be expecting it.
On the other hand, my street hasn't been plowed, and USPS didn't deliver today. No guarantee UPS will attempt delivery.

Went to the dentist this morning. My hygienist was saying she didn't like this time of year because there's not much coming up to look forward to. Quietly in my head I thought... 38 days! 38 days to Aggie Baseball!!

The Wunderlich Houses
Fredericksburg, Texas
When Adolph Wunderlich (d. 1935) married Martha Schumann (d. 1956) in 1883, he built the smaller of these two homes, combining log and stone construction. The family soon outgrew the first dwelling, and Adolph built the larger house of limestone blocks in 1892, on this farm, he raised cotton, corn, sugarcane for molasses, and grapes for wine. The five Wunderlich children attended Live Oak School, 2.5 miles away, where classes were taught in German. The Wunderlich family owned this property until 1956.

That's as much as letter spacing issue as a kerning one. Kerning is the spacing between specific pairs of letters. Character spacing affects all letters.aggiewilliford said:

Some of those kinds of inter-letter space "elision" in some fonts and in some cursive writing styles are intentional. But that one isn't. It's just cramming too many letters in.
So…in typewriters most were fixed pitch and that's where fonts like courier (that is a fixed pitch font) came from. The IBM Executive was a proportional space typewriter so each letter had its own pitch where pitch is length of the movement of the carriage induced for the character.
For context from the IBM Electric Typewriter article:
"IBM announced proportional letter spacing for typewriters in 1941, but IBM's World War II effort delayed the introduction of a typewriter model, the Executive, with this capability until 1944. Standard typewriters have a fixed letter pitch, so, for example the letter "i" occupies the same space as the letter "m". The Executive model differed in having a multiple escapement mechanism and four widths for characters, allowing it to simulate 12 point 'ragged right' typesetting. A skilled typist, by carefully counting letters on each line, could even produce fully justified layouts on the Executive."
I repaired Selectrics and Executives for a shop in California as its owner launched a computer store in 1983-84. I then worked at Bb Hunziker's Executive Business Machines part-time in 1984-85 as I finished my BS in Chemistry (the last time I ever touched a test tube.) I also delivered pizza for the two Chanello's franchises that year, taught Sunday School, sang in the adult choir, and went out witnessing at Parkway Baptist every Tuesday. Arguably my favorite year at A&M!
Looks like a state hospital.
