Is this email a scam?
I heard a story at a CLE event today about a CPA firm that had their invoicing system hacked. The hackers sent out past-due notices demanding immediate ACH payments for current invoices (The narrator: the CPA firm was not set up to accept ACH payments). One client was so pissed about it that he sent the ACH payment (to the hackers) and promptly fired the CPA firm for being such dicks about payment terms! Bad situation all around!

Austin -- We are losing this place
The North Loop store (RIP) was my jam as a kid. The Airport store was more of my late night drunk college guy jam. I've heard mixed reviews lately. Hope that they get their shit together.

I'm really having a hard time working up anything cloudy for the demise of The Pig Stand. Fine for it's time, but there is lots of better food out there these days.

There is some really sophisticated stuff going on out there (Brat's wasn't all that sophisticated) -- but I've seen cites that something like 90%+ of it relates to organized crime. They don't fuck around. If it wasn't immensely profitable, they wouldn't do it.

Funny Norm MacDonald joke! Sorry about you losing your buddy. Dogs going away always makes this guy a bit misty.

Cattle & Ranching
Which is apparently generational land held since 1909. Very hard to make the numbers work with modern-day land costs. https://44farms.com/our-story/

Cattle & Ranching
It ain't happening in Texas these days. Recreational use (hunting) far outweighs any ag use in most of the state. I am fortunate that our family owns some East Texas timberland that can be used for multiple purposes that can be profitable sometimes.

As I was saying: Joe's Bakery in Austin wins James Beard Foundation 'America's Classics' award The foundation said one of the reasons that cemented Joe's as an Austin staple is its firm sense of community. https://www.kvue.com/article/life/food/joes-bakery-austin-james-beard-award/269-e48074f0-a7aa-4ca5-985e-c5eeea9da6d8- What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?

He's sorta getting involved in education.
I made a joke about how dangerous it was to get between Art and a TV camera on a FB thread of a friend (who is a somewhat public figure) -- Art was most displeased and let me know about it. He is a tool.- In Austin? Twin Liquor dollar days started
Twin Liquors now owns Sigel's stores in DFW area -- they celebrate Dollar Days, as well.- Fort Worth is exploding
The Startlegram article about the Mexican Inn closing also included the tidbit that Bailey's on Taylor Street downtown is one of the two oldest barbecue restaurants (along with Black's in Lockhart) still owned and operated by the original families. Who knew? Another one gone: Fort Worth’s oldest Mexican restaurant lost location, will move https://www.aol.com/another-one-gone-fort-worth-222552440.html- Fort Worth is exploding
It's been 25 years plus since I've been to Mexican Inn in downtown FW, but I always thought that the gambling lore was part of the charm, plus they seem to use more chili gravy on their food than other places. The fritos chips are unique and may be authentic to their heritage.- RIP Fairfield Lake State Park
The State of Texas got the place for free for 50 years. Apparently got a notice 2 years ago about the lease termination. Incompetence? FAFO.- Local High School Students set up a "Mansion Rager" at a home whose owners were out that night
Same story, different neighborhoods -- those parties were up on Cat Mountain and around Valburn in my day. Loop 360 was just under construction and Coors beer had only recently come to Austin. Good times, indeed! Edit: And Lanier Vikettes were always welcome! Lovely girls!- Local High School Students set up a "Mansion Rager" at a home whose owners were out that night
IDK about the substance of the posts, but drive-by negging is stupid and reflects that someone has way too much time available to waste.- Local High School Students set up a "Mansion Rager" at a home whose owners were out that night
"I didn’t realize westlake, Bowie, LT, Anderson and vandergrift intermingled that much at parties." Anderson Trojan guy here. Married a Westlake girl. There was lots of interaction between those two schools along with Austin High and McCallum back then (late 70s). Lake Travis and Bowie weren't really a thing yet. - Texas AD Chris Del Conte
