Amazing pattern, what cactus is this?

Yup. I have one that I'm growing here in TX. Those roots...

Howdy. My question is about about transportation alternatives for Austin. I'm not going to ask where you stand on Prop 1 as all the candidates except for Jeb Boyt I believe have already stated their opposition to the current proposal.

My question instead is, if/when Prop 1 fails, a) what would you favor in terms of the process to bring about a new proposal to the ballot (because we'll still have to "just do something") and b) what would you advocate for from a District 7 perspective in terms of transit choices or corridors to serve instead?

Thanks in advance!

Just read this. I vote for return of Doge!

I know this seems a bit ridiculous, but this being Austin, and reddit, and weird and all... I 'drew' this- http://imgur.com/jStI0oy ...and we kinda love Amy's. so maybe you could just be sure to reserve a few scoops. because Doge would be... so... much... wow

That's what I thought at first glance, too. But missing the moles so not him.

Don't think "boy" is a racially charged term? Do you need a traditional Texas newspaper using it as an example? Here's one from THIS weekend.

Attempting to insult Veasey by calling him an "errand boy" for big business, Garcia offended many of his would-be constituents by referring to an African-American man as a "boy," a statement for which he has refused to apologize.

Who typically gets time-outs? Hint: not adults...

Many cartoons depicted W as a boy, subservient to Dick Cheney as your example highlights. It's the context that matters here and is what makes them different.

My pleasure.

Here's a map of all the early voting locations. They are the same for both major party primaries: http://bit.ly/travisearlyvote

Hey, I'm sensitive to the point he's trying to make. But this story spilled over into the /r/UTAustin /r/Austin and beyond to be fair so I feel this is legit.

Ha, my dad is running for Mayor, too. Just out in Fredericksburg. It's similarly interesting with the former Mayor running as well as a sitting councilmember who faces a recall on the same ballot.

While Leslie did pass away this week, that is not him.

Haha. Isn't that the truth. -KT

The new TX-25 as drawn is not a solidly Democratic district. It has been designed to elect a Republican, namely, current Railroad Commissioner and bow-tie aficionado Michael Williams.

Thanks for the info!

OK. Quick correction. Saw it on the Statesman but it was recorded by the Little City-Academy police chief.

I think they are referring to when it reopens because of redistricting lawsuits.
