Chicago
As many have noted, boat tour is great. Another option: we rented a pontoon boat and just did our own thing. We had a total of 8 people. Had a lot of fun just cruising around on the water.

Ideas for Long Weekend Trip
Sonoma County. You can fly into Santa Rosa direct from DFW. Then, plenty of options for food and wine, or rent car and drive 45 minutes and rent a house on Bodega Bay.

Thanks. Agree. I was concerned okra would be somewhat problematic since I only have a chance to pick it about once a week.

Garden is coming along. Thanks to the Surls who gave me some good advice for rookie gardeners. This weekend, I picked some suyo long cukes, peppers, okra, and a few beans and blackeyed peas.

The France Thread
We loved Villefranche-sur-Mer, a short train ride or taxi from Nice. Great, laidback scene at the beach (pebbles, not white sand, but beautiful). We enjoyed the restaurants along the water, near Welcome Hotel. Fun to walk around the hillside town. Lunch at Le Grill, at the top of Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo isn’t cheap, but food and views were great.

Any good restaurants in or near Portland, TX?
Agree re Water Street

I took the advice upthread and skipped the corn. Winter squash, cucumbers, pole beans. okra, peppers, and blackeyed peas are coming along ok.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Is 77-0 in 2003 considered this generation? If so, seems like it might want to have a word with Doug.

Buenos Aires tips
Caminito is touristy, but colorful and artsy. Also fairly close to the Boca stadium mentioned above.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Who knows if it's true, but when I was a kid, I heard the story about Shelby finding out one of his players got 4 F's and a D on his report card. Shelby's response: Son, you're spending too much time on one subject.

Beach Towns (US)
Cannon Beach is great. Massive beach. Cool little town, easily walkable. Seems crazy you can fly into Portland in late July, 95 degree heat wave going on there, then drive a little over an hour and it's 67 in Cannon Beach. Hook 'em!

Gardening 2025
Here's a dumb/rookie question: If I am only able to get out to my garden once per week, will it just be too overrun with weeds, etc. to even bother with planting stuff? I'll have a sprinkler on a timer so water shouldn't be an issue, but I'm guessing that real gardeners are out weeding and checking on stuff just about every day. P.S. I found this growing on its own in the area I was tilling Sunday. Given how neglected this area was and these are still shooting up, maybe I should be planting some asparagus? Hook 'em!
