How Austin NeoLiberals “solve” traffic
This design is all part of a growing disease called “The New Austin,” in which traffic issues are solved by throwing unprotected bike lanes into major streets that I guess only make the Lance Armstrong Mafia happy. I know thanks … Continue reading
Doc Brown in Austin?
Oh the things you see around Austin! I did the best I could at protecting their privacy but the car’s owner gave me permission to share this with Christopher Lloyd too, I put it on his Twitter. Actually, I’m surprised … Continue reading
Happy Tenth Birthday KUTX
Hard to believe the FM frequency allocated to Leander was never utilized until 1988. I guess Austin was still too small to have the whole “dial” filled up as per older and much smaller markets (*cough!* Milwaukee). For all my … Continue reading
Happy New Year from Castella di Maggi. May 2023 Rock!
Here’s a great photo of us before we went to enjoy the annual Feast of the Seven Fishes at L’oca Doro. Couldn’t wait to show of my new blazer I got as a gift! I received SEVEN, yes, seven compliments and … Continue reading

Freezageddon ’22! Final Day
Not bad for a Christmas Day, especially when compared to three others I readily recall in their horribleness via cold snaps and two were also in the southern portion of the US. The record holder remains 1993 because my grandmother’s … Continue reading
Freezageddon ’22! Day Three
Things are looking up today, namely the temperature! Thanks to the Sun coming out, we will return to 0° C by noon, ending the cold snap temporarily. By sunset, we dip again but it’s practically over tomorrow, Christmas Day! How … Continue reading
Freezageddon ’22! Day Two
Of all the times we’ve been “snowed in” or had a cold snap, this is the first one I recall the temperature will not get above freezing in over 24 hours since 1983 and I was further south in Houston. … Continue reading
Freezageddon ’22!
It’s that time again in Austin/Central Texas! The stores will be depleted of bottled water (the preferred brand in the city is Topo Chico), white bread, milk and toilet paper in fear of the temperature getting well below freezing, we’re … Continue reading
Jennifer’s car was stolen again…but rescued in five hours!
Yes, again. Now before you just sit there in disbelief, read on, there’s a happy ending as per the headline regarding yesterday’s “fun.” Firstly, the circumstances were very different. It wasn’t professionals yanking her Nissan Rogue from our driveway to … Continue reading
Rooster-fighting ring apprehended
Heard this via KUT and it blew my mind. Makes you wonder, “I thought this took place in other countries or cities with seedier reputations. Austin is a video game town or at least some programmer would make up a … Continue reading
Kwanzabot, Nibbler and Robot Santa visit Austin
I knew there was a reason why I felt compelled to go to Jason’s Deli for soup last weekend! It’s actually pretty good for the price point you pay too. The only thing I could say that beat it was … Continue reading
Finally, one of the new torties comes out to be petted!
Dragon’s Lair has always had a shop cat since I first started going there in 1994 and it was just a big house in Hyde Park. After Mayday passed away, I can’t remember if it was pre-, during or post-COVID, … Continue reading
My right-wing cousin’s normal attire…
or how numerous White males dress in the Austin ‘burbs, especially in Cedar Park, Round Rock and Georgetown. The proportion grows the further North you go into Williamson County and beyond. I imagine it’s true with the other three directions … Continue reading

Late Fall/Early Winter has come to Austin
Several days ago we had a thunderstorm roll in and the temperature here hasn’t recovered. Good thing we hit the Renaissance Faire a weekend earlier! Then we just experienced what would be Fall. Now we’re in Late Fall or standard … Continue reading
