The app is not loading weather info for me either today. If you reinstall the app it will just be blank.

Are you saying Chuck should retain Law Dog?

The ultra-wealthy who fly private are costing average flyers who won't ever use a private plane a lot of money Private jet travel has surged in the US over the last few years and accounts for one in every six flights.

And you didn’t even mention the private jet boom. We’re all paying for the infrastructure the super wealthy use to travel.

Please don’t take it out on us by forecasting unseasonably hot temperatures for Houston.

Texas' 18th Congressional District special election, 2025 Ballotpedia: The Encyclopedia of American Politics

It’s time to retire. Both candidates in the runoff are well known. One of them will be a congressperson before the midterms.

The governor can delay special elections for months. Sylvester Turner died in March. He probably won’t be replaced until early 2026. Would be a shame for dems to lose a vote again for a year.

Doesn’t matter if you win if you die in office.

If a TX city sets up noise monitors the state might move in a similar vein to speed cameras to limit its use. Question for Tory if it would be better for the city to be proactive with the state legislature on this issue. Does it fall under CoH QoL or TX motor vehicle jurisdiction?

The article doesn’t address the state level issues you brought up.

Too many bad takes. 😜

He’s not banned, just a lame joke…

My vote would be to try this at the Memorial Park speed tunnels. Getting tired of hearing endless people revving their engines in the tunnels.

Probably worth someone’s to check and see if this is actually the case…

Did anyone ask the candidates if they have been diagnosed with a terminal disease? The last two representatives did not disclose their terminal prognoses…

Yep. One trip to Australia is all it takes to realize how bad the US system is.

Comic. [two connected spacecraft hovering in space above the Earth] Houston, the view is superb. We can see the continents spread out below us, right where they’ve been since the Earth formed. [caption] I still can’t believe we developed spaceflight before we figured out that the continents moved.
