  1. Actual comment/commenter spotted on LinkedIn this morning...
  2. Oh really? Close to me and have never tried it. The sazerac may be the clincher.
  3. It was about 10:30 when we did it. We coped. Most of the trail is pretty shaded. Motivation to move faster, I guess.
  4. The one near is about two blocks away. Pretty accurate. Hels me also get a good read on rain amounts since I'm sandwiched between that an an LCRA gauge.
  5. Your mother
  6. Free... from the regular app or even through the web page
  7. Go to Wunderground, open the map that shows your neighborhood and all the various weather stations. Find the station closest to you and then track that one. Example - here are a couple in Hyde Park: Clicked on the 98 near Hancock to show a station you can track. No, I don't live in Hyde Park. I wish.
  8. Sweet! While we're at it, Butler kicks so much ass (as do those burgers)
  9. Haven't been up there in a while. Need to find something central. But I was looking at the menu of his location... simple dishes executed well. That's what it's all about. Back to pizza... y'all like Allday pizza next to Flo's? I know its more NY Style but I like the concept of a slice of pizza and wine. The patio is great... if you can get a spot.
  10. So, this is where the Italian snobbery comes out... I wouldn't go to Reale's. Very Italian-American and I'm trying to wrap my head around $17.99 fried calamari. Anyway, Austin just kind of sucks for your "trattoria" type Italian places... good quality unpretentious Italian food that is reasonably priced but well executed. That's why I mentioned Giacomo's in Houston. Artipasta is good but its a food truck... owner is nice and he does a great job. Its not like Dolce Vita where I can go on a Sunday and have a two hour relaxed lunch (sniffle sob sniffle). I DO like Bufalina and particularly for happy hour. Austin's Italian food scene sucks. For the whole sheet, right? RIGHT???
  11. 70 degrees this morning while taking a quick walk. I'll take it.
  12. I hear you. I miss our friends. I wish my parents were here... otherwise... I really really miss Dolce Vita but that ship sailed in 2020 when Marco Wiles decided to sell off the building. Having Giacomo's in Austin would help. Nothing like really good quality affordable Italian in Austin. That's a big gap here. Pizza is good if you know where to go and having a new DeSano within shouting distance will kick ass.
  13. "This school is diverse enough, and offers enough different opportunities that being a Geneva student is not one, specific type of person." I looked up the staff pictures. Pretty diverse. English, German, Croatian, Irish, Scottish, Blondes, Redheads, etc
  14. DeSano scoffs at all your suggestions
  15. For those who are interested, these are the last in-store shows at Waterloo before they move the store to the new location further up Lamar. I'm going to hit one of them. New location will apparently have a better stage for live music.
  16. Biked the loop around Town Lake yesterday - very much looking forward to seeing how the new pedestrian bridge looks over by Longhorn Dam. Also enjoy veering off into the East Austin south of Chavez to check out the neighborhoods. So much eclectic architecture. Love it!
  17. Its right in front of the capitol. My gut tells me it will be managed differently so as to not offend the sensibilities of Lt. Dan.
  18. Was driving south on 360 from around the Lost Creek area. Could see gobs of rain between there and DT. Good dumping.
  19. That commute?
  20. So wait, your commute is 2 miles!?! 'Cause that's a piece of cake. I closed up my office up by Central Market north. If I left at the right time from SW Austin to the office, I could make it in 25 minutes. During slow summer days, I could do it in 20 minutes. That's 13 miles. But on the way home, if I didn't split by 3:00, usually 30 minutes. I was driving to an office with me, myself and I. Not worth it. In Houston, my commute was 10-15 minutes taking backroads to go 3.5 miles. I can't even imagine long ass commutes... people who live in Katy and go downtown to Houston or Leander into town. F that. (Sorry... Cedar Park/Leander may as well be the end of the world for me. I get pissed if I have to go up there)
