  1. Almost every single-family neighborhood in Austin has twice yearly brush pickup and twice yearly bulk pickup.  
    For those of us that do our own yardwork, it’s very nice not to have to breakdown all those branches and limbs into craft bags.  Just drag em to the curb.  
    How do you not know about city Brush pickup in Texas?

    In Dallas it’s once a month.
  2. I have maxed out my 401k since I started working 15+ years ago. My company has had some match but at this point I don't even remember what it is.  I basically take as much tax deferral as I can.  Max out dependent day care, health care savings account...  Bottom line:  decrease your taxable income as much as possible and find a way to live off the rest of your paycheck and keep saving more on top of that.


    You may want to google RMDs (Required Minimum Distributions). It may behoove you to mix in a Roth IRA and/or a taxable account into your portfolio.

    My father, who I always thought was a good BBQ cook in his day, always told me to try feel the brisket and choose one that was the most pliable.  But now I think that means it has the least internal fat.  Now I'm thinking it's the opposite of what he said.

    What happens to fat when it gets cold?

    Neglected to post this from a couple weeks ago. And I guess Pepper Brooks and I are changing places. I’m now up at Greenspoint so lunch downtown is pretty much out of the question.
