    Now it's starting to stick on the streets in NW Austin

    The IGA in North Padre is now open. Also a sports bar, HardKnocks, opened in the same shopping center.

    Got two pizzas from Tony C's last night. One was excellent and the other was good. It's in the high priced/higher quality zone of pizza places. I want a great pizza but don't want to pay $25 for each pizza. I'm with @blacklab in the "get surprised by the price of pizza" group.

    So based on the Board voting to give the Superintendent the power to cancel school the week of 1/5 to 1/9, it feels like it could happen. Assuming we stay in Stage 5, what do you all think is going to happen?

    Fun and dumb. Has some funny moments. Doesn't break any new ground. Not sure if it's worth the money. Five years from now you'll remember it has Vince Vaughn in it and not much else

    I realized back in March and April that everyone in my family has a different interpretation of "quarantine". For some, it meant stay at home unless you had to go to Costco or the dry cleaners. For others, it meant stay at home except for visiting friends. It sucks having to interrogate family to get to the real truth.

    Is the game on Wed (against UT RGV) not on TV? Maybe I'm misreading the schedule on texassports.com, but it only lists radio.

    Have you all tried Kitchen United Mix? One location that has a bunch of mostly local restaurants so you can order a wide variety of food (ramen and bao and fried chicken and hamburger and curry and ...). It's to-go or delivery. Ordered twice and both times very happy. All of the food was hot and tasty.

    Build a bonfire on the beach and cook hotdogs and s'mores. Kids love that shit.

    Find a few places you like. Read the reviews for those places. All of the reviews. Every single review. Also read the house rules. Some places are quiet after 10pm. Some places you can party all night.

    Anyone making plans for a summer vacation in June 2021? Right now, airfares are still very cheap for June. Considering a trip but it would be dependent on countries being open to US travelers (seems likely by June) and a vaccine that won't turn me into a zombie.

    So last night the beach trucks/CC police didn't enforce the 9pm beach curfew in NPI. They have on some nights and not on other nights. Reference: https://www.nuecesco.com/Home/Components/News/News/1271/1169

    Here's an article about the beach opening to vehicles in Port A: https://www.kiiitv.com/article/news/local/texas/port-aransas-no-longer-enforcing-the-county-beach-closure-order-mayou-bujan-says/503-a9fbb65c-b2ab-436f-aa6f-a56bdeaa9d26

    There's not a lot of good options. The beach was packed last Saturday - it was 4 to 5 canopies deep in North Padre. It was less crowded on Friday and Sunday. So I would definitely avoid Saturday. Some thoughts... Maybe try some of the city streets in Port Aransas like Sandcastle Dr. But I've heard the police are ticketing on streets. The streets at North Padre are closer to the beach. The Windward parking lot is very close.

    Are you staying in Port Aransas (or North Padre or in between)?

    The beach curfew is being enforced. Police cars were driving up and down the beach at NPI at 8:30p and kicking everyone off.

    Last night in NPI they had trucks stationed at the beach road entrances, telling people the beach access was closing at 8pm. They also had trucks driving up and down the beach, kicking people off the beach.

    Was in North Padre from Wed to Sunday. The beach on Wednesday was surprisingly crowded. Thursday and Friday at the beach was more spaced out. Saturday was jam packed - some areas were two or three cars deep. Sunday was quiet in the morning and busy in the afternoon. The weekend felt like a busy summer weekend. If you are trying to stay away from people on the beach, my advice is go in the morning and be prepared to leave around noon. Lots of people walk close by you, don't distance, etc. Didn't go to any restaurants/bars/stores. A co-worker went recently and said they were crowded and few people were wearing masks. Important info - Stripes is advertising curbside pickup

    Is the MetCenter course open?

    Anyone booked any new travel after July? Wondering if it's time to make plans for late summer or fall.

    No. Go to Casita Guanajuata. It's that good.

    Now there's articles/rumors that he goes off the Bachelor script. It's hard to tell if ABC is promoting it or just playing along with it.

    I tried really hard to watch this show. I thought it would be enjoyably bad. But it's painful bad.

    Don't stay in Nob Hill or Fisherman's Wharf. Fisherman's Wharf is a boring outdoor mall. Both are too far from most SF activities. Stay in Union Square, SOMA or Embarcadero area. Close by transit, activities and easy to walk to neighborhoods
