Took the weekend off, but not on purpose
A lot of good stuff coming down the line but I was recently delayed due other matters getting in the way on Friday and then battling a cold on Saturday. At least I recovered enough to attend my friend’s D&D … Continue reading

One TXDoT crisis resolved
We had been receiving annoying letters from TXDoT over the last few months about unpaid tolls…gotta’ love the flawless automation and outsourcing the Texas Lege went with. Often the statement was vague since toll authorities are much like the IRS, … Continue reading
