Waymore Love for Dale Watson

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:22:41 GMT

Waymore Love for Dale Watson: Kira Annalise of Americana duo the Waymores told us about her Dale Watson experience.Kira Annalise: The best gig we ever saw collectively was in Austin, TX at The Continental Club in May, 2021. We had seen Dale Watson perform plenty of times but there’s something about The Continental that really puts him in his element. The club is legendary in every sense of the word. It opened its doors in 1955 and has seen the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe Ely, Junior Brown and Social Distortion amongst thousands of others.  It’s dark, red lit and only has a few tables with most of the space being dedicated to the dancers that come out every night of the week. Dale was performing on a Monday and it was wall-to-wall as if no one had work the next morning. Watson walked through the doors just moments before set time, shaking hands and quickly making his way through the crowd and onto the stage where his band was waiting, ready and prepared. No introduction, no “Hel...

Cigarette smoking is a widespread habit that has known harmful effects, not just on the smoker, but on those exposed to second-hand smoke as well.

San Jose is adjusting intersections to slow down speeding: Roadshow

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:22:41 GMT

Q: What’s going on at the intersection of McKee Road and White Road? There has been much construction work and it seems like there are no more dedicated right turn lanes. Are there plans to bring them back? The larger, safer pedestrian islands are nice, but this really clogs up traffic flow.Hank HuA: San Jose has installed traffic islands extending into the intersection to slow drivers down. This is happening all throughout the city. The major cause of accidents in most cities is speeding. San Jose and other cities are trying to reduce speed by installing more traffic calming measures. More islands like this will be coming.Q: All of the discussion about the DMV driving test got me thinking: I wonder how self-driving cars that I see on the road would do in a DMV-style driving test. I suspect that they would pass with perfect marks. They could drive a pre-set route, including a freeway portion, and parallel park. It would be a great article if you could set that up, maybe betwee...

49ers training camp: Top 5 roster hopefuls opening eyes in practice

SANTA CLARA – Training camp is not meant to discover Brandon Aiyuk, Christian McCaffrey or, apparently Nick Bosa, who has extended his contract-related boycott to 10 days.Roster hopefuls abound for the precious few spots that may (or may not) be available on a Super Bowl-seeking unit.Here are five up-and-comers who’ve helped their respective case through seven practices:RB Ty Davis-PriceFrom John Lynch running into him in the weight room at 5 a.m. to Frank Gore celebrating one of his training camp runs, Davis-Price is drawing a fan club with his sense of urgency after a defunct rookie year. He’s refined his physique (less fat, more muscle). But temper any praise for him and any running backs until they show their stuff in preseason games (and next week’s practices at the Raiders’ facility). With Elijah Mitchell (thigh) out for a week or two, that means more opportunities for Davis-Price and Jordan Mason as potential understudies to Christian McCaffrey.TE Brayden WillisThis seventh-r...
