The Italy Thread
Probably drove into a ZTL which is basically an area where vehicular traffic is very much limited to local permit-holders. If you're going to be driving into a town, you need to keep an eye for those zones or look up the zone map online. Of course, ZTL may have times, specific exceptions, etc. etc. and usually signage is not helpful if you don't read Italian... Once you cross the line, you're toast. Ticket.

Concerts you are attending
The rail at Mohawk is great - usually easy to do it if you get there early enough. I always tell me wife, once we have the rail, one of us is not moving for the next three hours. Let me tell you... she LOVES that.

First place my friends from Italy recommended to me when we moved back to Austin was DeSano. Its great. We like the Burnet location but its a PITA from SW Austin. This one is so close to us. We're thrilled. They use legit ovens from Napoli. Pictures from their FB of the ovens going in... From another location...

Not much longer before the new SW Austin DeSano is open. I'll be able to ride my bike to DeSano. So happy for this. I haven't peeked in lately but they're laying the foundation for an expanded outdoor patio and last time I looked, they had at least three ovens inside.

Shady Grove - RIP
I may make it to Buda for something but that's as far as I go. Otherwise, man, that's too far. Mr. Chuy?

Who's been covid vaxxed? Stand up and be counted.
Went to Walgreens, walked in and set up the flu and Covid vaccine. When it asked me if I have any chronic illnesses, I checked the box that said "I don't know" and the system was like, Ok you're good to go. God the flu shoot and the Pfizer vaccine. Assuming my insurance will pay for it. 🤞🤞🤞

Blastfurnace 2025
I don't know where y'all are but in my Austin backyard, today has been bad ass. Set up my office on the back table under the covered porch and it has been excellent.

My gut tells me this will be just as much the Shady Grove as the Hut's in ABIA

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Those of us in SW Austin would like a word on our inclusion. Besides, if you make those the borders, you can F off and not come to Sagebrush, Sam's Town Point, Armadillo Den, St. Elmo, Leroy & Lewis, The Far Out, Little Darlin' etc

“‘SOS’ is the best pop song ever written,” he once told The Independent. “It has all those Swedish folk elements that tap into whatever elemental musical self we have”.
I'm going to keep this on track... ABBA is so good! Not ashamed of absolutely loving their stuff. Speaking of Frida...

Palm Springs
It appears to have appreciated... a bit. https://www.homestratosphere.com/john-lautners-elrod-house-in-palm-springs-ca-listed-for-8-million/ PS is awesome though. From the architecture to the desert vibes to all the great hiking (yes, even in the summer), I love it. Haven't been in years, though.
