I’m not sure if you’re mocking me for being stupid, or not believing that offer was made. He was moving out of state and wanted out of the landlord game. It was a shitty house in a good neighborhood on the rise. I loved living there. I just looked it up on google maps and was shocked it hasn’t been torn down.
Nice garage do... uh... wait.

Not gonna dox my neighbor.....especially as I revealed that they are a domestic violence shitshow.
It's actually kind of sad. But it's been eye-opening to the young people on the block to see that the life that influencers CLAIM to live is...fake.
Wait wait wait... is iiiiittt...

I see people on Twitter complaining how their feeds are all screwed up and they can't get any support. Dumpster fire.

When Mrs. CHIEF and I got married. I tried to talk her into buying a little 2/1, or 2/2 bungalow in Travis Heights, about three blocks off from Zilker for $70k. It needed a complete renovation, but had hardwood floors. She told me she didn't want an old, broke down, piece of shit house. Worst decision I ever let her talk me out of.

Brutal... my brother and I had talked about going in on a condo somewhere in central Austin many years ago... should have done it.

About Cain & Abel's... I agree it sucks that its closing. Made many good memories there and I still have by pewter mug... but man would I look like a total loser going there now so, yeah, its part of the past. Dry Creek closing sucked, too... I made it the last month it was open. BUT... when was the last time before that? I mean... yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeears... so if it was so important to me as part of my old Austin, why didn't I go? (and we allll know that its a miracle Dry Creek stayed open that long or wasn't condemned) .And that's the problem for a lot of these places. You love some of the places from your past or part of your old Austin? Frequent them within reason (ahem Cain & Abel's which, honestly, is just Abel's).
Dirty's? Yeah... I still go there. Save Dirty's.

Still positive and honestly other than a mild sore throat and a little congestion, I'm mostly annoyed of having to sit around. I am taking a couple walks a day to get some fresh air and ease the boredom. I'm a very active person - the inactivity is teh suck.

As Turk Pipkin once told me, "Only time you worry about an Austinite is when they quit bitching about the ole' days."
THAT is an amazing quote.
Its funny... we've been on/off in Austin since 1989... even when we lived in Houston, we would come to Austin all the time so we saw the city change. One thing that has remained consistent with us is that when we lived in Houston (near Town & Country), we were always going into town and hanging out in the Heights, Museum District, Downtown, Montrose, etc. Our "regular spots" were in town, not as much near us. In Austin, its the same... we are still addicted to Guero's (tables on the sidewalk some of the best people-watching in town), spend a lot of time downtown, near and north of campus, east Austin, etc. And it's easy for us to get to the Hill Country although not a big fan of the big 290 expansion taking place... I guess it could be worse. Still, we've found this happy balance of all the things we can do in town and the easy access to things outside of town.

A really interesting May 1984 article about the development of Rob Roy and Circle C from Texas Monthly. The whole thing is worth reading but, in light of our current discussion, I was amused by some of these quotes from 1984... nearly 40 years ago:
"In the midst of the frenzy, the old Austin dream died. The city started growing faster than it ever had. Many of the old politicians didn’t recognize it, but there was a new electorate in Austin, and the newcomers didn’t share the dream of first love at Barton Springs, cold beer at Scholz’s, and picnics under the pecans."
"It is a chicken-or-egg question whether the developers caused Austin’s uncontrolled growth or merely responded to it. But there is no question about the boom itself and the resource that spawned it."
"It wasn’t only the size and dimensions of the city that had changed in ten years: its heart and texture had changed too. The center of town used to be Sixth and Congress; now it was FM 2222, four miles north of downtown. Ten years ago FM 2222 was where the boondocks began, and the only people anyone knew living north of it were dope dealers. Now it was Main Street for high-tech migrants who had moved to Austin to work for IBM, Tracor, and Texas Instruments. According to one estimate, nearly 40 per cent of the newcomers were from out of state, and 5 per cent were from another country."
1984 and the article is rife with complaints of traffic, sprawl, the character of the city, low cost housing, transplants... it's a bit of a gem.

Life long allergy sufferer here. I’ve had allergy spells that were way worse than my Covid experience.
I can usually cope relatively well as long as I don't do a couple of key things...
1) go out and leafblow an assload of leaves during a high pollen day
2) go take a more strenuous hike like River Place
3) rub my eyes
So of course yesterday I did 1 and 3 compounded by the onset of Covid. Today I'm not doing 1 and 3 and feel a lot better.

The bivalent booster not so great with XBB. My thoughts:
1. We need a regular operation making annual unique Covid vaccines, like we do with flu (if that’s even possible; I really don’t know, and I gather Covid is still mutating quickly)
2. A year ago, I posted that there are three protections from bad Covid outcomes- being young, being fit and being vaccinated. If you can’t have all three, you should at least have two. Now, I think it’s time for the government to start doing what it has been reluctant to- start being vocal about the need for people to be fit. Especially the olds (like me). My reading of the CNN article is that being fit will do more good against XBB than being vaccinated (with our current vaccines).
Young... ehhhh
Fit... Check
Vaccinated... Check
Honestly, I wonder if I would feel much if if wasn't cedar fever season.

I have no idea what I'm looking at above but it looks like it needs neg rep.
After three years I finally tested positive yesterday. I probably would have chalked up how I felt to allergies were it not for a fever. So... tested and am now in isolation. Tested positive again this morning so that's two in a row.
Already feel a lot better... have not really taken anything other than one Excedrin and some Emergen-C. Double boosted including the bivalent. It just feels like I have mild allergy symptoms which could very likely be mild allergy systems thanks to the pollen. I'm sure that doing the River Place trail during high pollen yesterday didn't help.

Have a friend who is a good guy in general but, man, he is a Tesla/Elon fanboi and I should know better to get in conversations with him. They are a beating.

Used to be an old wagon road between Austin and San Antonio, I believe you'd get on it somewhere south of town near that big field where they'd have concerts. Scenic two-lane drive winding along, pop out into downtown San Marcos, then there was another way from there on down south.
Bastards cut down all the trees, cut and filled the hills and valleys, and four-laned it so the Karen herds could roam the newly-generic landscape. Forgot about Oh-Woe-Is-Austin, THAT business was a crime against Texas.
If you weren't careful, the Comanches would take you out.
