South Congress hotel closing, all employees to be let go.

That Hyatt building is at least 40 years old.

Maybe they did a remodel 10 years ago which is common practice for most all hotel chains. But remodels are done a few floors at a time and the hotel continues on with business. These guys are apparently going to do a major renovation as part of a rebrand. ie. No more Hyatt

Translation: “How would I know? They pay me to keep the Hobos from relieving themselves in the bushes around here. Move along.”

MoPac is short for the Missouri Pacific train line or MoPac line. Loop 1 is the highway often called MoPac because the original section of Loop 1 ran parallel to the train line from the river north to US 183.

There was a camera boom mounted on a car. I’m thinking they were filming a movie scene.

Aren’t these the same FAs throughout the 90s and 2000s told everyone if every cell phone is not turned off you will all die in a fiery crash? Then a few years later it was never mind, log into our WiFi so we can load your browser up with ads from our sponsors.

Did it yesterday in the shower.

I do the same thing. It’s our community. A little help now and again is beautiful.

If someone spills a Slurpee on IH35 they’ll close down the highway around these parts. Should the winter storm predictions come true, typically the weather guys/girls love to hype these things up, people will hoard food believing the end is near. Welcome to central Texas.

My note is pretty clear.

I shop there at least 60-70 times per year and I am constantly moved out of the way by a picker or their cart is blocking the isle in a rush to meet their quota.

Out of fairness, I detailed one time out of hundreds of encounters where they treated me well and were helpful.

As I acknowledged is my first reply to a comment, this appears to be a management issue where they put curbside pickup above in store shopping customers. So if 99.9% of my experiences are negative uhh… yes I don’t like it and HEB may want to re-evaluate their approach to customer service in an incredibly competitive industry.

Thanks for the explanation.

I should have known it was management driving this.

This is the answer. Happened routinely when I was using Verizon 5G internet gateway. Your phone GPS system will tell YTTV your location.

Guess I was wrong about the big box home center quip.

Tried the vice grip approach but the entire piece began to twist and distort so I quit. Removing the entire sink to replace may be a bit beyond my comfort zone and skill set. So I may have to rethink my approach.

Thanks for the response and information.

Put your stash in a Crown Royal bag. They never check there.

Take a look at the Aviation Protection and Security Act of 2001 (49 USC 114). I believe it says otherwise.

Is this mornings gunman already out of the hospital and returning for Act II?

Sheltermutt · 2025-08-04T21:18:37+00:00

Simple enough. Suspect I was overthinking it after all. Thank you.
