Harvested the first of what appears to be a bumper crop of jalapenos from the patio garden. I decided that I might have better luck with hot peppers than tomatoes - at least bird and squirrel-wise. Though that choice does impact one's eating. Not sure a bacon-lettuce-jalapeno sandwich will have as wide an appeal.
Our new boy-wonder minister is a Millennial through and through, especially when it comes to dress. Of course, so are all the other ministers on staff, so he fits right in with his untucked shirt. He has received some grief over it and one of our elders challenged him: if said elder got his hair styled like Luke's, then Luke must agree to wear his shirt tucked in for an entire month. Done and done.
Austin's transportation issues have been widely (and nationally) reported this last week. The big news was, of course, Uber and Lyft pulling their service after losing an election that they forced upon the good citizens of ATX. I don't have a dog in this hunt, but it's pretty obvious that while Austin may be weird, it isn't dumb. If someone drops a $9.1 million advertising bomb on a city because "using fingerprints for background checks doesn't meet their business model" one really questions what is going on. At least, that's how it seemed to nearly 60% of those who voted.
And the timing was unfortunate for the Mayor's appeal for a "Not Rush" initiative. He hoped to demonstrate that there were alternatives to rush-hour traffic. Like the commuter train. The one that wasn't running the morning of "No Rush Wednesday" because lightning had knocked out the train signal system. And stormy weather all but stopped traffic on Mopac and IH35, so I guess there really wasn't any point in rushing, because you weren't going anywhere anyway.
