Check out the Wikipedia page for Santana (the band, not the man). It lists 17 drummers alone. (Of course, the band often features at least three drummers at a time.) But the current lineup is a testament to the fact that as long as one key figure remains (Carlos, of course) and he looks for the best talent, the quality of the music doesn't have to suffer with personnel changes. They're better than ever, 40+ years later!

Go ahead, Kentuckians, be obnoxiously proud! It's not like anyone will give you a hard time about it. ;-)

You can openly carry firearms if you take an all-day training class for certification to carry a concealed handgun.

No, you can't, at least not in Texas. The CHL is just what it says: a CONCEALED handgun license.

Some states do have open carry laws, but Texas isn't one of them.

You do know what day this is, right? ;-)

"It wasn't until the instant after he'd launched from the Matterhorn that Franz realized the parachuting tips extracted from the American POW were probably not as reliable as his superiors had assured him."

The strike-through edit of the original post helps a bit, but it's still misleading and probably should be completely re-written to properly describe the relationship (or lack thereof) to the actual Taps.

Not everyone will take the time to read the clarifying comments, especially if they're picking up the post via RSS feed.

The Flagship Hotel in Galveston, Texas, was so seriously damaged by Hurricane Ike that it's uninhabitable. It may re-open in 2011, if renovation plans hold.

Thanks for reminding us. ;-)
