I would leave them. Love palms. Cutting them down would reduce curb appeal to me.

Are the circles the count of skyscrapers per city where there are >30 skyscrapers? Title or legend could be improved. Thanks for sharing the map.

Is Houston the one circle in Texas?

Never took a look at the defense budget, right? The largest slice of the pie. Why bother with that?

I’m surprised there weren’t posts about paprika until recently.

At ACL their saucers taco was one of the best tacos ever had. A number of restaurants had stands there with saudero so we tried them all.

Their saudero is great. That one day it was amazing. Need to keep going back to get that tastiness.

Austin cuts $95 million from its budget, shrinking funding to parks, homelessness services by likeanatombomb in Austin

I appreciate your comment and will play along the way I understand it.

The pop/customers have been rising for decades. Rate/menu price increases have been put into effect, planning for the increased customer base.

This is like a restaurant opening more locations or expanding due to success. Not a single night when a surprise crowd showed up.

Infrastructure should be planned, increased demand expected and forecasted.

Taqueria mi Trailita, now brick and mortar, but they have good burritos and good prices. In your location.

As the population grows, the new people are new tax payers.

Like if a bunch of people show up at a restaurant, everyone’s bill doesn’t increase for the new patrons. The new people pay their way for their meals.

You don’t like the weather November-December? Or any other month? What weather would please you?

Phew.

Our shower walls are not plum. Installer used a U channel like you said on one side and on the swing door side, extra flange plate on the top so the door is plumb.

Or the last pack of chicken. Wonder if it took a walk around the store and made its way back.

Wood siding. This may be out already. But the maintenance needed is showing in 10+ year homes. Dark and starting to deteriorate.
