  1. Crude oil market has decided it wants to take a run at rallying. Over $62 for WTI today.
  2. swraith replied to Zavala's topic in Daily Texan
    I wonder if there is somebody at the Pentagon currently brainstorming what to do with the 200+ US military installations spread across a range of NATO allied countries.
  3. The high temps in Austin appear to continue through next week.
  4. Dec 25, Bergstrom Hi/Low 57/76 Camp Mabry Hi/Low 58/75 on the humid side
  5. Some of the mid-range weather forecasts for the first 2 weeks December are putting another shot of cold weather into the Great Lakes.
  6. Hmm. Is Segura throwing one of his staff under the bus? Austin ISD plans to keep open 3 schools originally slated to close At some point, it will come out which staff member(s) were removed from the team.
  7. WTF is that email that AISD superintendent just sent out? “In the past few days, members of our community have brought forward significant concerns about the integrity of specific individuals leading the process of applying community feedback to the updated plan.”
  8. So AISD listened to feedback and made a change that was an improvement?
  9. If that is what is needed to help balance the budget, I don't see the concern being worth the pearl clutching. Collect what money you can.
  10. Is the U.S. trying to oust the government in Venezuela ?
  11. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/education/schools/sources-say-state-to-take-over-fort-worth-isd/287-246d8afb-4d06-4912-910b-a94c4784af81 Sounds like FWISD is already making substantial progress on improving the ratings of its schools but I’m sure TEA will ignore that as they take over the district.
  12. heh. it's got a gondola.
  13. Agreed with the lack of awareness of TEA takeover of HISD. I have family with kids in Spring Branch ISD. They are not aware or even following the HISD takeover. I have raised the topic with them multiple times and they are just totally unaware of it happening.
  14. I can't complain about a new reservoir being built. We probably need even more to be built.
  15. I'm hoping my 8th grader at Lamar gets into LASA. I will figure out the transportation challenges. Then I will keep my fingers crossed that TEA doesn't close down LASA if they takeover.
  16. I think that bridge is pretty cool.
  17. The AISD trustee meeting is today ? Does anybody have an update on that meeting ?
  18. sigh Flash Drought fall gardening is a beating with no rain
  19. Maybe if TSA and air traffic control go more than month without a paycheck, people will create urgency to revolve this prior to Thanksgiving travel.
  20. yeah RAM prices have just been on a rising trend. I checked eBay for some used so-dimms and it is absurd what eBay prices are as well.
  21. Don't look at the maps posted earlier this afternoon. the document links to this tool to check boundaries for a given address. Preliminary Boundaries (October 3, 2025) | Límites Escolares Preliminares (3 de octubre de 2025)
  22. Is the document saying no high schools are closing? Kids are basically being shifted eastward to fill up seats in high school.
  23. You weren't joking. Option 3 is panic inducing. Maybe that is just being floated to make either Option 1 or 2 more palatable.
  24. TEA takeover may be inevitable, but I'm in denial and continue to hope it can be avoided.
