possibly but unless you're tied down by a contract, why would you waste all that $$ on att? i've been on fi since 2015 and can't imagine going back to att. my monthly bill is ridiculously cheap (~$45) compared to when i was on att (~$90).
thanks @cactusflinthead
i spoke to a guy who seemed to know quite a bit about planting trees in the austin area and he said to avoid bigtooth maple. when asked why, it seemed that he personally didn't like them for one reason or another, but i haven't read about any issues with bigtooth maples in the austin area. other than perhaps his personal preference, can you think of any reason why he would advise me to avoid them? otherwise, it looks like a unique alternative tree for the area.
looking for some tree recommendations.
we have a large area that was recently cleared and it needs something other than ripped up soil and weeds. the space is wide open and won't be competing with any other trees. as for location, we're in nw austin. basically right next to bull creek park. we already have a good deal of live oaks and red oaks, so i'm interested in other species that might thrive. i'll likely plant juvenile trees between 6 and 12 feet tall. medium to large trees when they become adults.
i'm lucky to have good insurance but still have to do this. it's all fucked up and i don't expect anything significant to happen in my lifetime. if anything, you have to learn how to work the system and not how to fight with your carrier/insurance. i certainly don't expect one person/party/group to create the tipping point.
let the kid decide, without being influenced by the cost of attending. he sounds smart and will make it work.
with the creds that you mentioned, i'm having a hard time figuring out how he can't get a decent financial aid package at texas.
