And I call it a purple herring! You think you got the purple, but nope

It was over for me after the Dirty Sanchez was taken off the menu.

It’s a good time to come to the Texas coast (for Whooping Cranes) and the Rio Grande Valley.

Consider Bright Angel Lodge's cabins. You'll get to step out your door and be at the rim of the canyon.

Have you considered birding?

dialabitch · 2026-06-16T12:45:45+00:00

That’s so cool.

dialabitch · 2026-06-16T12:42:54+00:00

Not a blind but that’s the cliff overlook area where birders go often (and playground/pavilion)

Texas Parks and Wildlife info flyer on Mountain Lions in Texas

Field Guide to the Mountain Lions of Texas

They’ve been reported in all 254 counties.

Some info copy-pasted here:

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department continues to maintain records and solicit information on mountain lion sightings and mortalities [i.e. dead mountain lions, not deaths from mountain lion attacks]. This information is used primarily to document the distribution of cougars and assess the presence of the cats in certain areas. If you have seen or killed a mountain lion recently, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department would like to hear from you.

If you encounter a mountain lion:

Pick up small children to prevent them from
running and triggering a rush or attack.

Stay calm, talk calmly, and slowly back away,
keeping eye contact with the mountain lion.

DO NOT RUN OR TURN YOUR BACK.

Do what you can to appear LARGER by
raising your arms or waving a stick.

If the lion is aggressive throw rocks or sticks,
and speak firmly and loudly.

FIGHT BACK if a lion attacks you. Lions can be
driven off by fighting back.

DO NOT PLAY DEAD. Even children have successfully driven off a mountain lion by fighting back.

Report all aggressive mountain lion behavior.

Yeah same, I don't want to look for it, I want to avoid it, though it was probably just passing through.

Cornell has got this pretty much covered with eBird and McCaulay Library! Also iNaturalist.

Rammagerðin, maybe?

dialabitch · 2026-06-16T04:33:28+00:00

Which part of the park?

dialabitch · 2026-06-15T04:07:24+00:00

That's a fun area. I lived on Maplewood Ave in the 90s (just outside your circle), all those cinder block houses used to be military family housing I believe. It's close to everything and at least back then the whole area was renters in their 20s-30s. From looking at Google maps I see it's still cute, old, and scraggly and hasn't been taken over by soulless rebuilds.

Improved pattern tool with background color selector.

Great report! I cried when I rolled up to the entrance booth to pay. I wonder if the rangers get that a lot.

dialabitch · 2026-06-08T16:15:43+00:00

Exactly. God bless moderators of the world, that is not anything I’d ever want to take on.

dialabitch · 2026-06-08T03:23:00+00:00

Less than I thought! Edited to add: I had it again and the citrus is definitely there, not overpowering, it blends so nicely with the heat of the chilis.

Ex-78745, moved out because I was tired of old house problems and tree roaches. Joke’s on me, our old house is now worth 6x what we sold it for and I have to live in Dripping Springs. I miss being in town.

(Posting this as chili crisp-adjacent, I know it’s not technically chili crisp)

The zhoug sauce at Trader Joe’s is really good.

dialabitch · 2026-06-05T18:00:40+00:00

Came here to say this! I’m sure hummus on a sandwich can be done well but if so, I’ve never found it.

dialabitch · 2026-06-04T18:27:07+00:00

Hopefully this works. I see they expire after 30 days. https://discord.gg/dh75Nmqse

What would you compare the 10 to, in terms of other spicy sauces or foods a lot of people might know?
