  1. This is a pretty good analysis of SVB. (Of whom, KPMG issued a clean opinion on their financial statements the Friday before last.) https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/300-billion-reasons-why-svb-contagion-spreading-broader-banking-system
  2. Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Association exploding in 3,2,1... Hotel Rezoning Could Bring New Height to Austin’s South Central Waterfront https://austin.towers.net/hotel-rezoning-could-bring-new-height-to-the-south-central-waterfront/?pro=caitlyn@towers.net
  3. I was born in Port Arthur, but thankfully not raised there! Carry on.
  4. Sad story. This was the obit that ran in the newspaper: Our son Dorian Zev Kweller died in a freak car accident on Monday, February 27th, 2023. He was 16 years old. He was going the speed limit, phone in its holder, seatbelt on, doing everything right. He was freestyle rapping to his favorite instrumental playlist when an oncoming truck drifted towards him. Dorian swerved into the shoulder to avoid the oncoming truck. While in the shoulder, a downed broken tree branch from the recent freeze came through the window and hit him on the right side of his head. He died instantly. The airbags didn't go off, the car wasn't overly damaged. He would've walked away from this had it not been for that one branch. When Dorian was born, our main wish for him was to have a zest for life. That wish came true times a hundred. Our baby was riding high until his final minute on earth. https://www.statesman.com/obituaries/paco0441480
  5. I've had deer leases in McCulloch, Menard, and Schleicher counties continually for the last 25+ years or so. Good people out that way. I had a fuel pump issue en-route in Llano and a battery issue en-route in Brownwood. The folks that I encountered those days could not have been nicer or more helpful. "Three dudes get out, all there are bow-legged, and wearing real deal worn spurs" The cowboy life ain't for sissies!
  6. Even the real shit hole towns in Texas are blessed with something of an economy. There are lots of places in the Midwest/Appalachia/Northeast that really have nothing going on at all. Ghost towns in the making.
  7. Just drove through Luling last week. There is definitely a billboard war going on down there about BBQ! Terry Black's had a full parking lot.
  8. The last time I was at Commander's for Friday lunch (pre-pandemic), I would guess that about half of the judges in New Orleans were in attendance. The rest were lawyers. Not much justice happens on Friday afternoons in New Orleans, apparently!
  9. Commander's Palace for Friday lunch. Those cheap martini's aren't gonna drink themselves, you know!
  10. Another great one:
  11. I love these guys:
  12. April Fools Day story was inadvertently posted too early?

  14. I do not go to steakhouses on my own dime. So much better food out there.
  15. Narrator: They won't.
  16. A steal of 2B that worked!
  17. Brown's steal numbers are not looking good.

  19. Terrible. Huge talent for the good guys. RIP.
  20. Crank it up!
  21. We have a lifetime supply of these from when we got take-out pho twice a week during the pandemic frenzy. So perfect for freezing chili gravy and stock.
  22. Loving the "far north Austin" Shipe pool reference! 4400 Avenue G -- Hyde Park neighborhood!
