Downtown Projects
They have several varieties of square fish - almond crusted, baked, blackened, and fried with little prepackaged containers of sauces of tartare or red. Their boiled greens and jalapeño corn bread are quite legit for this southern boy.

Lulz, Wimberley bank robbery
I bet the bank’s fragrance brings together cypress wood and honey, and, like a Madeleine de Proust, recalls the nostalgic memories of one’s youth and the spaces where they blossomed.

Homeowners Insurance- Lighting Strike
I’ve seen The City of Austin charge $1000 per inch diameter for damaged trees. Our tree is about 24 inches in diameter. I’m not suggesting that our tree is worth $24,000 but it’s worth looking into. My mom said she wasn’t giving you a $1,000 per inch but if she did, you’d get ‘bout tree fiddy.

Homeowners Insurance- Lighting Strike
Lightning struck a mature tree in front of our yard and split it in half. It’s a goner. Is the value of the tree covered by home owners insurance?

Gutters
We had to repaint the exterior of our house a few years ago and I decided to pay the painter a couple of hundred dollars extra to remove them rather than repairing them. I had been bad about cleaning them and as a result they were causing to wood rot. I felt that they were causing more harm than good. It looks a lot nicer without them too. We do have some erosion at the drip line now, but overall no regrets.

I am the Spouse/SO of an Alcoholic (and other dysfunctions)
Hey Buff- have you considered that your ex helped the other woman, not because she placed her needs above your daughter’s needs, but rather that she knew your daughter was in good hands?

Great American Coin Hunt? April 21-27
This isn't really on topic but I didn't know where else to put it. My grandmother passed away in Fort Worth last year and I ended up with boxes of old cards, letters, pictures, and books that belonged to my Grandfather. I've posted here before that my family traces back to the Burleson family of Texas frontier fame. Anyway, hidden in a picture frame was this folded up bill. It's not in very good shape and pretty fragile. It's a "Government of Texas" issued 10 dollar bill dated 1838 and signed by Sam Houston. I also found this Mexican money.

Can’t you fly in to Ft Myers and take the Key West Ferry Express? That’s the way to do it.

What's my next step? No fault car accident.
I was rear ended and my car was totaled. At fault driver had progressive and I had USAA. I turned the process over to USAA and only had to give a five minute statement over the phone with the progressive folks. USAA got me a rental car right away and cut me a check for the whole mess a week later. They waived my entire deductible.
