Cramps suck. I think the common advice is to check your magnesium levels. But I have no clue, really, and I'm sure you are just as good as I am in consulting ChatGPT

Flags are at half mast across the country.,

There’s a 24 hour McDonald’s a few blocks from the hotel. All other restaurants are booked given it’s Valentine’s Day

No, that's really it. You may get lucky.

The first and only time I was in Austin was when Apple Computer was my client in the early 90s. It was after Jobs had been fired and the Newton was launched. But they already had a sizeable presence there. One thing that came of it (Apple’s presence, not my trip) was Apple crushed an initiative that was going to outlaw the provision of ‘partner’ benefits (ie spousal-type benefits for same sex couples back when gay marriage was illegal). It was about to pass and Apple told the governor and legislative leaders that it would shut down its Texas facilities if it became law. “And the rain came down”, as they say.

They have them in France and Britain too. [image: 1771089161289-img_0376.jpeg] [image: 1771089174537-3f67e0c3-cee3-4cf1-8a4c-7565e86ea670.jpeg]

Made this last night, 2/3 of the 1/2 recipe. Only had half a pound of mushrooms so i added green peas. Delicious, and half a cup of rice was more than enough for the two of us. Would easily have fed four as a side dish. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/85389/gourmet-mushroom-risotto/

No matter, he's still the mayor. For now. I don't foresee a second term.

The whole industry seems weirdly closed off, but what you said makes lots of sense. I am not a wine connoisseur, but if a consumer can find a place that can sell it for affordable prices, while still making huge margin, and having a simple but quality list, that certainly would be attractive to me.
