Bury the power lines in the unused subway tunnels.  Problem solved.

If we build enough Gondola coverage we can use that infrastructure to also carry the power lines!

Teacher arrested on child porn charges taught as substitute at 20 Austin ISD schools

https://www.kxan.com/news/teacher-arrested-for-child-porn-subbed-at-20-aisd-schools/

My grandson is a student at Doss and he casually mentioned that some sub was creating AI porn using actual students' likenesses.  To say that was unsettling understates it by quite a bit, on many levels.

Doss Owls are a weird breed.  Makes me even more glad, that I'm a Pillow freaking Panther.

I cannot tell you how much time I spent at Pillow for youth soccer.  Bad parking and just a bit too far a walk to grab a pre-match beer.  We tailgated.  Neighbors were bitchy.

My parents still live in the same house I grew up in, a couple blocks away, over by the skating rink.  My dad would gladly share a pregame youth soccer tailgating beer with you, but alas their house isn't close enough to have been a parking destination for you.

Pluckers or Trudy's (RIP) wouldn't have been a terrible walk, though.  I feel like my usual parking spot at Town & Country was probably about the same distance.

Waterloo seemed the closest but we didn't consider north.

Oh yeah Waterloo too.  Or Cooter's depending on how old your kids were.  Or, Monterrey House, way back in the day. :)

Buddy's

We used to do a Burnet Road dive crawl for a friend of mine every year on his birthday.  Buddy's Place, Ginny's Lil Longhorn,  Poodle Dog, and Lala's.  Originally he rented a bus for all of us, then later we realized we could just take the #3 the whole way.  You've never seen folks as confused as the normal bus riders watching thirty or forty late 20s/early 30s pile onto the #3 to ride for 3/4 of a mile.  We also tended to overwhelm the regulars at Buddy's Place but after a couple of years they started expecting us.  Plus, some of us went there pretty regularly ourselves, anyway.

Man, is anyone still running the Burnet Road Challenge?
