    Good stuff. I love Aeromexico and hope they expand to include more Mexican cities flown from Austin. It would be nice to fly direct to Oaxaca City or Monterrey. 

    Doesn’t Viva fly to Monterrey from AUS? 

  2. Big surprise.

    Gov. Greg Abbott calls for Texas A&M University to fire professor for gender lesson in viral video

    Gov. Greg Abbott urged Texas A&M University to fire a professor who told a student to leave class after they raised objections over a lesson involving gender identity.

    a thread about *literally anything* and Johnny posts about his ranch, his family ranches, his money, his connections.

    quelle surprise

    Don’t leave out his grandparents being a part of the Texans ownership group. That is one of his favorites.

    Went to Crudo e Cotto on Friday (Mid Ln) after seeing it pop up on my IG feed. Authentic Italian sammiches, pizzas and pastas. 
     

    got two pizzas for the kids (good), 2 pastas (vodka and carbonara) both good 7-8/10. The real stunner was the mortadella sandwich (I got it without zucchini because I hate that shit) but holy fuck was that amazing. Instantly a top 3 Houston sandwich for me (#1 being the French House ham & Swiss on French bread, and #2 being an OG Regular at the two Antone’s spin offs near the med center). 

    Thanks for the review. It’s been on my radar for a couple of weeks. I need to get over there for lunch in the near future.

    In other news, Chopnblok made the New York Times 50 best restaurants in the country list. I love that place.

    If you want to be in a city, consider Mexico City. 

    Rent is cheap, food is cheap, tons of entertainment. They have Uber, subways and buses everywhere. 

    Roundtrip from Austin is 2.5 hours

    High of 75F everyday.

    How’s the broadband? Buddy of mine lived in Cancun for about a decade and his biggest complaint w/r/t working from there was unreliable broadband.

    On the plane back from my first Vegas trip in 12+ years. Spent three nights there. Probably did around twenty LV trips from 2000-2010.

    The place is a disaster, hundreds of things went wrong to get to this point. But if I tried to succinctly sum it up, it’s that the casinos stopped giving a fuck about the customer. What used to be a  fun, generous, and communal experience turned into “I literally don’t give a single fuck about you” attitude from top to bottom. Employees are miserable, bettors are miserable. The fun is gone. The joy is gone. Corporations destroyed it and Vegas will be a wasteland in 10 years without a miracle turnaround in customer retainment strategy. 

    My wife and I were having a conversation about Vegas a couple days ago after we saw that stupid new commercial for the first time. When we lived in PHX, we would periodically hop a flight up to Vegas for the weekend to gamble a bit, get a cabana at the pool and lounge, eat at great restaurants, etc. It was never a cheap weekend, but it also didn’t feel like you were being viewed as a rube whose sole purpose for living was to get screwed by the entire hospitality industry. It has been years since we’ve been back and we periodically talk about doing a weekend to relive old times, but then we realize that we’ll just be pissed off the entire time and it will ruin the nostalgia.

  7. Buddy of mine was at the Rose Bowl show last night. He has also seen them in Manchester and at MetLife last weekend. Since I already knew he would say Manchester if I asked him which was his favorite, I asked him this morning which was his favorite between NY and LA shows and he said LA was the clear winner. He’s been sending me videos and from every show he goes to and they sound damn great.

  8. Before I moved back to Texas where I can have great BBQ any time I want, I would sometimes stop at the Cousins at DFW for a BBQ fix. Was it great? No. Was it passable enough to satisfy an itch for Texas BBQ for someone who didn’t have ready access to it? Yep.

    On of our sons lives in Minneapolis and we've visited a few times. It's a great city and you don't have to go too far to get into some areas with gorgeous scenery. Obviously a lot of lakes. It would be on our list for sure. 

    MPLS is an awesome city. One of my best friends has lived there for 20 years and I doubt they ever leave. We love going up there to visit them in the summer. Great downtown, good restaurants, tons of breweries. Canoe trips on the boundary waters are an awesome experience along the US/Canada border.

    I was in Appleton for around 8 months over 2 years for a project around 7 years ago. Summers were awesome and beautiful 

    I’d also like to check Traverse City out. Have a friend that rented a house there this summer and they said it was awesome.

    What would y’all do to motivate the police? If your children wanted to be policemen in Austin, what would you tell them about the job? Would those words encourage such a career? 

    Do your children enjoy sugary breakfast treats and watching YouTube videos in an idling car?

    Downtown steakhouse - Pappas, Vic/Anthony, Palm? Other?

    Of the ones listed, I would pick Pappas every time. Adding to your list, I would throw Guard and Grace into consideration. I’ve never had a bad meal there and the atmosphere is more contemporary if you’re tired of the typical staid steakhouse.
