Great interview with The NY Times photographer.

RIP Michael Corcoran
Great grasp on the local music scene. The gossip column thing for the Statesman was bizarre. Corcoran had some interesting lists. https://michaelcorcoran.substack.com/p/five-greatest-austin-bands-of-all

Countdown to 2024 Texas Longhorn Football - SEC now with more cowbell!
That Dawson kick seemed to touch the stratosphere, pause and then somehow made it across the crossbar, from 50 yards out. There have been longer game-winning kicks. But very few were as surreal at that one.

Vancouver
Grouse Mountain. Great views, hiking, lumberjack-type shows, watching grizzlies (safely). They're orphans who are full grown and have the run of the park in an enclosed area. But the grizzlies typically stay near the viewing areas. We watched one last summer for about 15 minutes make waste of a big tree carcass as he clawed his way through the bark in search of ants / insects. Cool shit. You can also do the tram, open air style.

TWC just flashed a Euro graphic showing 12 - 18 inches between SA and Austin from Monday - Wednesday. It's no wonder that channel has gone downhill when it's still using models that are 4 days old.

It's at a (low) Cat 1 now. Unless the water temp goes from 86 to 66 over the next 48 - 72 hours not sure how this can be. But I'm no Yeomans so whatever.

Speaking of needing a good scrubbing, at this rate watch it make a Port Arthur landfall.

Trivial things that please the ever living shit out of you
Teenage kids that write a simple thank you note. I don't need the world for giving a $50 or $100 graduation gift card to the kid a couple houses down who I randomly see, just a small acknowledgement of appreciation. Pleasantly surprised to get a couple notes in the mail this year, so there's hope.

Thanks. Good idea to do this whether being on the coast or not. Fire and the like, for one thing.

Biden's a feeble man and it's sad that he went through this tonight. Those supposedly "close" to him are sorry people for allowing it. Anyone with a decent pulse would have destroyed Trump. Therein lies the problem with Biden.
