The namesake of the fourth largest city in America, Sam Houston was born in Rockbridge County, Virginia. Houston and his family migrated to Maryville, Tennessee when Houston was a teenager. Houston later ran away from home and spent about three years living with the Cherokee, becoming known as Raven. He served under General Andrew Jackson in the War of 1812, and after the war, he presided over the removal of many Cherokee from Tennessee. With the support of Jackson and others, Houston won the election to the United States House of Representatives in 1823.
I just wrapped up hosting a town hall for 7000 people that went completely off the rails, not necessarily in a bad way, but total chaos. I need a drink.
Morgan-Stanley forecasts the average price for electric vehicles will increase on average over $1 thousand just due to the increase in cost of and decreased availability of nickel needed for the batteries due to events of the last 3 weeks. VW I heard has already had to shut down production of some models due to unavailability of some parts and materials that they were getting from areas now involved in a war. Not good developments, but not surprising.
*looks at the change in average price of ICE vehicles over the past 5 years* That's all?
In all seriousness, though, that's disappointing. I'm pretty sure my next vehicle will be an EV, but I'm not in a rush to get one. That said, I can quickly change my mind if someone offers an EV equivalent to a hot hatchback.
Not necessarily "all" at all, that's just for the supply of nickel. I'd expect persisting chip shortages and other component issues to also push the pricepoint even higher than it already is.
I'm hopping on a plane this evening to NYC to go see some family. Give me a recommendation for a good pizza place as I'll have a bit of me-time on Sunday to wander around Manhattan.
My youngest daughter lives in Brooklyn. She recommends Roberta's in Bushiwck. Two Boots and Joe's Pizza are great and have multiple locations. Grimaldis in DUMBO is a classic and finally there's Juliana's.
When we’d visit our buddies, Newellbany & I used to take the subway over to Grimaldi's in Brooklyn & then walk across the bridge back to Manhattan…if the weather cooperates.
Houston is fun. But, it’s just really hard to get from place to place - very crowded (like L.A). Weather can be oppressive too - very humid. But, I agree, if you are young and well situated, it’s a whole lotta fun. Austin, is/was better. Small, fun, not crowded, young person’s Mecca. But, it’s crowded now too. Hard to move about. Dallas has gotten to be fun now, without the over-crowding, but it’s starting.
And… I will not confirm/nor deny GoldenSD81 claim about the “clubs”, but suffice it to say that Houston did/does not have zoning ordinances. So, on any particular block you could have a high end restaurants, bars, shopping and a ‘club’ all in close proximity…just like Vegas. It resulted in a ‘active’ environment.
Houston Street (HOWstun) is named after William Houston, a Continental Congress delegate from Georgia. Houston - the city in Texas - is named after Sam Houston.
Lots of Vietnamese (half the Asians in Houston are of Vietnamese origin) - but I don't recall a big Hmong population - not like Minneapolis or the East Bay.
You might be right, but the several times I've had pho there, it was only so-so. I did like the Asian-Mexican-American buffets, where you could get huge quantities (of course, it's Texas) of decent Asian food.
Houston Hobby is the only airport where someone yelled at me, Hey are you Vietnamese?
One of the guys in my wedding party was telling me about the drama at his new workplace in Houston, late 2000. Soon thereafter, they laid him off and demanded his signing bonus back. He told them to go eff themselves. He didn't have to pay it back because it was Enron.
I lived in Houston for 4 years - and when I moved there I expected to hate it.
And I didn't. One of my favorite placed to live. Anything you could want from a large city, but cost of living of a medium city. Great food, friendly people, awful weather and sprawl. An awful place to visit and amazing place to live. If there were job opportunities in my industry there (again) I would be looking.
For those of you with families, I'm told by Houston locals that there's nothing to do in the summer but swim (because the weather is too unbearable to do anything else). So apparently they produce some good swimmers. Also I had the impression that the school systems are good, though I haven't verified this.
It's not THAT bad. I used to play basketball, golf, cycle, and run in the summer. Bellaire High School (Emeka Okafor) is on a short list of best public high schools in the country - I represented Cal for a couple college nights there - and those kids were definitely more study and career focused than I was at a similar age.
I wouldn't say a huge amount - but kids who came over had a ton of questions. From out of state Cal is as difficult to get into as Ivy+ and just as expensive - so being honest, not a ton to recommend about it - huge class sizes, limited resources. Obviously there are positives, and I'll encourage anyone interested to go, but it's not for everyone.
Great food, friendly people, low cost of living, everything you could want from a large city (major sports teams, thriving museum + arts, probably the best food city in the US outside of LA/SF/NY.
You tend to live in pockets of the town and do not travel about. It rains. It’s hot. But, you get used to it. I think that handling the humidity is better than dealing with constant rain in the Pacific Northwest.
Humidity is not everyone’s cup of tea. It’s not mine and I don’t know how people live in New Orleans. But rain/mist in 45 degree weather where it’s difficult to go outdoors without getting wet is hard on the psyche…for me at least. I can’t do either place. I’d rather have heat.
because nothing is close to anything else and unless you like swamp conditions, it is unbearable to be outside 6 months+ out of the year during the day. So...kind of a shit place to visit but if you live there you figure out the weather, cost of living vs salaries are best in the US, the food scene is incredible and there is a ton of culture and entertainment available which can be consumed in smaller chunks than the typical visitor would want to take
I agree. I think all the major towns in Texas have a little of what you described. I even like San Antonio. I could live without visiting El Paso anymore, except if Cal goes to the Sun Bowl.
genuinely curious as to why. San Antonio is largely awful with a few sections of "ok". I suppose its a better tourist city than Houston, small pockets of concentrated things to do but overall it is sooooo meh
We made carnitas and cilantro-lime rice the other night. Cooking the pork shoulder was a ~10-hour process so the house smelled glorious all day.
It all nearly went awry at the end when the microwave broke and forced us to find an alternative option for heating the tortillas. How the microwave broke was annoying. The microwave door has a pair of plastic tabs that latch it shut. One of these tabs contacts a button that must be depressed or else the microwave will not operate (to prevent it from running with the door unlatched). That particular tab is the one that broke (how it broke--I have no idea). $15 later, Amazon had a replacement latch delivered to us the next day. Perhaps I need to work on my door-opening technique, because I have never seen this happen before, and this microwave is only 6 years old.
I'm about to housesit for two nights in a household with no microwave! Also related to your story, the last time I stayed there, I broke the tab of their toaster (but it turns out it was already broken, and they'd taped it back on). I don't think I'll use their toaster this time.
How did you cook the carnitas? I love making pulled pork in the oven, which for a 5-lb bone-in boston butt takes between 4-6 hours depending on the temperature I want to use. I just brown the seasoned pork in oil on high heat, and put it in the oven. I thought I could use the same technique for carnitas, but it just doesn't seem to work.
I rubbed the pork in spices before putting it in a dutch oven with a mix of onions, jalapenos, and oranges. I had the dutch oven on the stovetop over a very low flame for about 9 hours. Over time, the juices from the pork, oranges, and onions make a bath that envelops the pork. After it's done in the dutch oven, I removed the pork, shredded it and cooked it in batches on a lightly oiled pan at very high heat until it was slightly crisp.
I just put a griddle on the stove and put the tortilla on it for like 10 seconds each side. It makes them soft and malleable as long as you don't leave them on too long. I guess the warmer would keep them warm if you're making them as you eat them.
If we want them soft and malleable, like we did in this case, we use our tortilla warmer (a little pouch that holds in the heat and moisture when they're heated up).
Of all his tirades, the ones against renewable energy are always the most unhinged. His claim ahead of the 2020 election that Biden would ban windows in new construction was *chef's kiss*
That's what MLB channel folks are saying. Info is still slowly coming out, but it appears a majority of the union executive board voted against it but the team reps voted overwhelmingly in favor.
Postseason will have 12 teams, similar to the NFL format pre-2002: top two division champs in each league get byes, other teams play 3-game series to advance.
Real extra innings and no man on 2nd...that's even better. Though I think they added the limit on pitchers didn't they, which means we may see more position players pitching with the regular extra innings.
I don’t think they will cancel the whole year because of the success of the Covid shortened season proved a shortened MLB is both viable and profitable.
Yes it looked intentional but Grayson Allen only getting an "indefinite suspension" for only 1 game by Coach K and the ACC letting them do that after his 3rd trip means Buddy got screwed.
I saw some post game comments from Coach B. First he said it was unintentional then argued that Buddy had been hit a couple times and you can't just let that happen. Seemed to contradict himself as he went on.
The 3B blew the play. He had no business roaming so close to the second base bag. Then the C had to try and make the play at third...by then it was done.
Now you'll see HC's start coaching their first basemen to be prepared to cover home!!
I actually don't know what happened. I recently got a letter from IRS saying I didn't file 2020 return. I sent via certified mail so I tracked it, and it says it's still in transit. Last year I had to pay extra tax, and I sent check with the return. That checked was actually cashed in April 2021 so they must have received them. The letter also said that since I do not have any return on file, I will lose the credit (check they cashed) I have on my account. I called IRS and was surprised they actually answer calls. The agent told me to wait 4 months and if they don't have, then re-file. He also told me to file my 2021 return as usual.
Commenting on new DBD is paywalled? Not sure if that was intentional.

Houston
That photo at the top is stunning. Just look at all the space dedicated to parking lots. Is that for real?
That photo just screams 1970s and I am sure it was real when it was taken. I am sure a lot of that parking has been infield with development.
It's still a lot of parking lots there - that's downtown near where the Toyota Center is now.
Always changing planes at IAH but never actually left the airport.

The best Vietnamese & Hmong food in America
Lots of Vietnamese (half the Asians in Houston are of Vietnamese origin) - but I don't recall a big Hmong population - not like Minneapolis or the East Bay.
San Diego has a decent Vietnamese population and has some very good Vietnamese restaurants and pho shops.
You might be right, but the several times I've had pho there, it was only so-so. I did like the Asian-Mexican-American buffets, where you could get huge quantities (of course, it's Texas) of decent Asian food.

You tend to live in pockets of the town and do not travel about. It rains. It’s hot. But, you get used to it. I think that handling the humidity is better than dealing with constant rain in the Pacific Northwest.

I was there for 36 hours for a wedding and enjoyed myself. Lots of mosquitos.
sounds about right
true of a lot of US cities to one extent or another, but I'm definitely "Houston curious" when it comes to food
San Antonio is better, and only a few hours drive east.
Also San Antonio is to the west of Houston.
I definitely do not endorse this.

I don’t think they will cancel the whole year because of the success of the Covid shortened season proved a shortened MLB is both viable and profitable.
That’s why I’m kinda hoping they cancel it all.

Are you sure it's lost? Mine took ten months to process and I just got my refund last month. Refund included the statutory interest.
I actually don't know what happened. I recently got a letter from IRS saying I didn't file 2020 return. I sent via certified mail so I tracked it, and it says it's still in transit. Last year I had to pay extra tax, and I sent check with the return. That checked was actually cashed in April 2021 so they must have received them. The letter also said that since I do not have any return on file, I will lose the credit (check they cashed) I have on my account. I called IRS and was surprised they actually answer calls. The agent told me to wait 4 months and if they don't have, then re-file. He also told me to file my 2021 return as usual.
I would donate to that.
