I've been told Tecovas are pretty nice and I went to their store on South Congress but I was too cheap to buy anything

Not that I don't love spending money but it was a lot for something I'd almost certainly never wear

We got snobbed out of a luchesse store a few years ago. Guess our Tshirt and shorts vibe was more ‘normal people’ and not ‘ranch owner dressing like a slob’.

Fair, but dang we were ready to buy some basic leather boots at least.

Technically that was what Mexico brought the Americans in for.

Didn't work, because the Texans kept to the East and weren't as ripe of a target to steal from in raids. Hope somebody in the Mexican government bought something nice with the money from the land sales.

More amazing Mexican and Tex-Mex food with a decent beach for us. *shrug*

https://www.tpr.org/environment/2023-08-17/spacex-submits-report-on-april-starship-launch-to-faa

Speaking of beach related poo poo.

Still no word on where Musk is getting his water from for his rocket deluge system AND where that runoff is going to, it's going into wetlands and it's considered polluted water.

Which if ends up sorting out is a massive no no that could run into breaking more federal laws. My cynicism says that won't happen because they want/need Musk to get his poo poo together to put people on the moon for..... reasons.

It's better explained in that substack by a guy in Houston who specializes in environmental stuff.

Absolutely, it's hosed up, and the bureaucratic corruption and/or incompetence that allowed the location is inexcusable. It should not be there, and yes, Musk himself is an absolute poo poo stain.

But calling it a project that serves no one is perhaps the dumbest thing that I have ever read.

Of course it serves someone! It serves Elon loving Musk and his wishes to be more rich and land and be buried on Mars. He wants off of Earth so loving badly I wish I could fulfill it by Monkey Paw-ing his wish by sending him on an ACME rocket straight into a passing comet that passes by the sun, vaporizes him and immediately collides with Mars effectively making him a visible crater on a dead planet.

Right, because vanity trips to an uninhabitable planet (or at best low earth orbit sight-seeing tours) is exactly what we need right now. It's a waste, he's a waste, and very little of the money stays here thanks to tax abatement.

Fully agree. I was at the Snoop concert the other night and weed may as well have been legal. That was a whole lot of tax revenue that the state isn't getting.
