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.

What would possess anyone to go to 6th Street at this point?

https://www.kxan.com/news/crime/4-injured-in-shooting-near-6th-street/

There are a ton of 6th St shenanigan videos on Youtube. Everyone of those videos basically have the same trashy people in them. It's the same demographic that you would see at street takeovers. 

I'd be interested to see how much money those idiots spent on 6th street. I'm thinking not much.

I'd said it numerous times over the years. Gate off the whole area. Charge a $30 entry fee which then can be used at any of the bars/restaurants. Patrons aren't really incurring any additional costs that they probably wouldn't spend anyway.

That will quickly weed out the dipshits looking to loiter and start shit. Now they get to fight and shoot people for free. There aren't going to pay $30 for the privilege. They may want to but 3 of their broke ass friends aren't going to.

Speaking of street takeovers...

My wife and I were leaving east 6th street on Friday night around 10:30.  Drove down 7th, made it over and across 35 and then zig zagged back over to west 6th from Guadalupe to take it over to Mopac.  So right around the intersection of San Antonio and 6th we stopped at the light.  Waiting... waiting... light turns green but just as we're about to continue down 6th, two motorcycles go flying through the red... and then a few more and then tons of motorcycles/e-bikes are flying through the intersection, all running the red light traveling on San Antonio towards 5th street.  So, we just sat there and watched the lunacy until we saw two police cars (one was DPS) hauling ass with sirens blaring as they weaved through the masses of motorcycles.  Eventually the last ones went through, the police was gone and we continued on our merry way. 

I have no idea WTF that was about and didn't see anything on the news.  Any ideas?

I played golf at Lions on Friday afternoon. Those motorcycle and ebike dipshits were riding through Lake Austin Blvd and Tarrytown doing the same shit. It's amazing that they kept doing that shit all through the night.

Saw a crew of the ebike types on Lamar Friday night.  I presume they were all over town.  There was a big gaggle of them, but it looked like they followed the traffic signals, only saw them for a bit.
