Local Breakfast with Character
So, I'm just back from ACL weekend in Austin, where I had breakfasts at Counter Cafe, Magnolia Cafe, and Toasty Badger - all better than average, local breakfast places with character. It isn't hard to find similar places in other cities when I travel. But, Houston is full of chains like First Watch, Another Broken Egg, and Snooze, all of which are pretty soulless. I know there are couple of old fashioned dives out Telephone Road, like Frank's Grill and Tel-Wink Diner. And, Harry's in mid-town just popped into my head. What are other good, local breakfast places, with character? Inner loop or west side, inside the beltway preferred....

2024 ACL Festival
I was able to pretty easily get to about 25 feet center, about 30 minutes before start time. Then moved up another 5+ feet during the show. No chance I could have pulled this off if I’d arrived 10 minutes later.

Shit I've Cooked Lately
Quesadilla dinner - sautéed onion, poblano, and mushroom, and leftover rotisserie chicken, plus cheese mix, hot sauce, and smashed avocado topping. Quick, easy, and good!

It’s not exactly Trump level, but I’m disappointed by the amount of gibberish from Walz.

College Saving, TTP and 529
The current 529 balance will cover undergraduate tuition. If the market/fund values crashed at a time such that the balances would no longer cover undergraduate tuition, we would very painfully supplement from other sources - our retirement. Which is the reason for my quest to move to another fund with better end stage options than equity funds, bond funds, or mixes of the two. I am not sure it exists, other than the plans I mentioned with money market options, which presumably will soon start declining with interest rates. If, I could just stand pat, with a 2-6 year ladder of bank CDs, I would probably do so, but that is not an option in a 529 plan....

Absolutely not. I use all of it, and have never had a bitterness issue.

Pellet Grills and Smokers
Initial burn-in underway! I used an Old Smokey and charcoal for about 15 years (dating to a long gone duplex that was just north of campus in the 3100 block of Tom Green) and then gas for the next almost 30 years. This will be interesting….
