When you desperately need an ottoman to ease your back pain and this is the best you can do right now… #moving #missmyoldfurniture
Houston, I have questions. So many questions. Today, let’s start with water pressure. Every time I have stayed here, whether it’s at a hotel or private home, the water pressure seems low. Is it low? Or is Austin just on blast 24-7?
First observation as a Houston resident: the train is going through my neighborhood and my chair shaking and this is 100% the life I was born to lead.
NEW: Both prosecutors and magistrate judges at the jail reviewed probable cause affidavits for arrested UT protesters and found that they didn't meet the lowest standard to go forward, I'm told. Police may continue to investigate, however, and possibly resubmit new charges.
Harris County has embarked on a striking endeavor – mandatory flood buyouts. The undertaking holds lessons for managed retreat programs across the country. @JustJhair, @RaquelNPhoto and I spoke to ppl bought out & county officials about takeaways. houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…
If running at a conversational pace means sounding like you're on a respirator, I am winning.
This sounds like a great job. Jump on it!
I can’t go this year, but if you can make it, you should! I always learn a lot.
