  1. Rough homestand, but at least we closed it out on a positive note the past 24 hours.
  2. Elon thinks economic data is fake because vibes. Also, becoming apparent that tech/telecom workers seem to think everyone works in tech/telecom and therefore everyone's seeing massive layoffs. Guessing Tesla gonna report a shitty Q2.
  3. OH hell yeah, 27 years later, Super Mario RPG has been remade for Switch!
  4. Oh nice, the full season drops all at once on Thursday. 10 episodes this season vs. 8 in Season 1.
  5. Per NWS, gonna be a hot rest of summer, but should get some July and August rain.
  6. Getting tired of the "whatever, it's summer in Texas, it's supposed to be hot" It's supposed to hit 103 in Houston on Tuesday. The average high for June 20th is 92. Now, I'm no math expert, but that appears to be double digits above normal. Looks like this extreme streak should finally dissipate from "way hotter than average" to just "hotter than average" by Thursday. Crazy that it'll be a relief to only hit 95.
  7. Would like to see WTI break out of this ~$70-75 trading range over the last 6 weeks, but good to see that $67 or so seems to be a pretty reliable level of support. Last 4 times that shorts have driven it into the 60's, it recovers back to $70 within 2-3 days.
  8. Looks like a little bit of profit taking over this final hour of the trading day after a big week of gains. DOW +350 since Monday S&P +99 Nasdaq +360
  9. Just saw an article that the owners of La Mexicana are taking over the spot of the extremely-short-lived Cherry Block at Stomping Grounds. IIRC, "La Mex" was originally planning to open up in the spot where Sunday Press is at 34th and Ella, but that fell through during Covid. Tentatively set for a September opening.
  10. If I still lived anywhere close to San Marcos (my old stomping grounds from '02-'07) like you, I probably would. Unfortunately, I live in the concrete jungle, where our only natural water feature is a giant muddy drainage ditch.
  11. This kind of heat wave in the middle of June just sucks all around. At least when you're facing something like this towards the end of August, you can console yourself that there's some relief on the horizon. At this point in the year, there's nothing ahead but more of the same for months to come. My wife headed out this morning to go see my in-laws for Father's Day and our nephew's birthday. Got the house to myself for the next 48 hours. While getting ready, was thinking how nice it would be to take the day off (if I wasn't so busy at work), but then I remembered that it's in the high 90's and humid (current heat index 109). Not like I'd wanna go for a long bike ride or dust off the clubs and hit the driving range.
  12. Almost 2 year later update. Property owner says the place is 100% leased. At least 1 future tenant has been ID'd based on construction permitting. Skiptown, a pet boarding/grooming facility with an outdoor bar and playground area will be starting construction later this year at 900 W 34th. I'm assuming the bar area will be in the parking lot behind the building, next to that new apartment complex that's going up on Brinkman. https://skiptown.io/
  13. Whoops. "I asked them to let me go" Yeah, let's go with that.
  14. Markets rising like whoa! MSFT up to an all-time high at $345 today. Market cap currently close to $2.6 trillion. AAPL also at an all-time high of $185, inching them even closer to becoming the first $3T company (currently $2.91T).
  15. Way more concerned about the Yordan issue than LMJ, who I wasn't expecting to see much of this year. How bad does an oblique strain have to be to take 6 weeks to heal?
  16. Fed's latest interest rate and inflation projections just out. Just hold out until 2025 mortgage bros!
  17. Fed skips June, as expected. They signaled they expect 2 more rate hikes this year, with a terminal rate of 5.6%, dropping to 4.6% next year. They see inflation dropping to 3.2% by the end of 2023, 2.6% next year. Upped their 2023 GDP forecast from 0.4% to 1.0%. Only a minor increase in unemployment expected, from 3.7% now to 4.1% by the end of the year.
  18. Coming out next year for XBOX, PS5, and PC. Jedi Survivor type gameplay but you're a non-Jedi using a blaster. There's also ship combat.
  19. I've gotten old and nerdy enough, and increasingly less tolerant of SETX summer weather, that usually starting around Labor Day, I spend a little time each day looking through GFS models for any hint of the first cool front headed for Texas. That first day that the low temp hits 65 (usually early one morning in late September) is quite possibly my new favorite day of the year.
