Surprise income
The snow is reportedly headed our way. Austin is already getting it, and it’s sticking to the ground and trees there. At best we’ll only get an inch or two, but that’s novel for this part of the world. I … Continue reading
The groundhog gets a raise this year
Snow? Seriously? In Texas in late February? A cold front is arriving today and it could bring significant snow to within a few dozen miles of here. Two to four inches in some places. Though we may only get cold … Continue reading
