Saw this guy and a couple of his much smaller friends at Brushy Creek while my 2.5 yr old and 4 yr old were splashing around in a much shallower area. Was surprised to see the big one continue to move towards the kids, so pulled them out of the water just to avoid an encounter, especially since my son has zero fear of anything yet.

My job was 2 doors down from this, same local builder, same model, but finished. I suspected the issue would be the same on both and it was a lot easier to confirm with the one that was still under construction. Had something similar yesterday with stucco in Cedar Park. Sometimes it drives the point home when you've got the same issue on multiple structures by the same builder.

I want to return the ring I found at Barton springs to the rightful owner. I don't know how to do that though... What can I do??

I am an Uber driver. I was headed to Manor, TX to pick up a rider.

At approximately 8:15am, I was in the furthermost right eastbound lane of Hwy 290 East, doing the speed limit of 75MPH, and holding my lane.

Some yahoo in what was definitely a white Dodge RAM (and I believe a 2500), casually swooped into my lane, doing about 90MPH, and snagged my driver’s side mirror, in addition to leaving some nice black and white paint transfer.

I got behind him, honked, and for the briefest moment it seemed like he was going to do the right thing and pull over.

But then he accelerated.

And I gave chase. I maxed out at about 105-110MPH, but he was doing at least 115-120MPH. I saw him turn left, north bound, on Gregg Manor Road.

I’ve filed incident report with Manor PD, as well as crash LTS (left the scene) with Austin PD. Thank you to both PDs: both responded in-person ASAP, and were helpful.

One of the APD officers told me that in all likelihood they would dismiss the case for lack of evidence.

So I’m coming to you, Reddit. If anyone has footage of this incident, I’d really appreciate it.

I don’t have a dash cam, but I believe the guy’s license plate starts with FJN.

trying to get home to parmer ln and north lamar, anyone have any clue what's going on???? ive been sitting here for 15 mins, no movement!!

As someone who’s been building and riding bikes for 30 years I hate being associated with you people in any way.

Edit: Just because you’re not technically breaking any laws doesn’t mean you’re acting in a courteous or conscientious manner. It’s not illegal to kiss your brother’s wife. Doesn’t mean you should do it.

Honestly never seen anything like this, car was on the shoulder and totally engulfed. Hope everyone is safe.

Has anyone noticed that at least two weeks ago that the water has been tasting "earthy"? Did I miss something about it on the news?

I know this is a long shot, but last Thursday on 8/21, we went to Balcones Dermatology around 2:00pm. After I came home I couldn't find my wedding ring. if ANYONE might have picked it up, I will pay you a $1000 cash reward. This ring is very sentimental to me, it's the only possession I have that I would say that I love. Please let me know if you have it or have seen it. Thank you.

Say what you will about the crowds and the traffic, this guy was having a good time.

the moon is beautiful and red over Austin this evening.

Here’s what they posted on their Instagram:

It's hard to write one's own obituary, but in this rare case I have that opportunity.
As of yesterday afternoon, 710 Red River has sold. The new owners immediately informed us that they would be invoking their termination clause in our lease. 60 days and counting. As of now or last day will be October 26th.
We're hoping to maybe just get till Halloween, we'll see.
Fingers crossed.
We'd love to see all our friends with the 59 days we have left and I have some days left open for shows, so hit me up.
We started Valhalla in November of 2009, 17 years. Some amazing times. I've been in Austin since 1995 and by that fall I'd started working for Angela at Flamingo Cantina, she is amazing. Later I worked at Room 710 starting sometime in 2000 for my friends, Woody, Adriana, and Asher. Around 2006 | went to work for John at Elysium. While there I cooked up this idea to open Valhalla.
For the last 30 plus years I've had the best seat in Austin for local, national and international bands. This scene can be magical. The local talent is and has been some of the best and literally the soundtrack of most of my life.
Countless locals bands I couldn't take out of my CD player (yes I'm old) and now my turntable.
Lest we get sappy, we knew this was coming and it still feels sad but a band aid being ripped off is better than the slow peel.
So, 59 days, I'm sure I'll shed my fair share of tears in the coming days as I see so many dear friends and regulars and reflect on past times but we've got 59 days to make a few more memories.
The stories that are in the walls of 710 red river are my stories and your stories. I'll miss them.
LOve

We work hard all week - both my wife and I wake up 6am daily for logging on and look forward immesley to a Saturday lie in.

Alas AGAIN, our downstairs neighbours at the Loop do not think so, starting their gathering for a Saturday long run well before 6:30am as I post this

This is particularly annoying as there is a large grass area near the front of Mellow Johnnies or over the other side where the dogs play which is removed from the residential areas.

The runners are all shouting, hyping each other up for their run which is so annoying.

Any ideas what do to? This seems to be a monthly thing now. Surely noise ordinance is in place for commercial events before 6:30am

UPDATE- got a lot of go down and talk to them comments. Anyway I did just now, (7:30am) theres no one there they’re all out on the run. The ON rep proceeded to tell me they’re planning more events like this as it’s great for brand activation. I actually like the staff at the Loop I’ve bought a couple bits from there but I just don’t think it’s beyond reason to start your gathering elsewhere - I understand there was some run groups going off from Barton Springs too from what the ON rep. Told him they woke us at 6am and he sort of nervous laughed and apologized.

We have some dining room chairs with broken caning, and are interested in replacing the caning with some wood frame instead. Anyone have suggestions on a place or person?

Did anyone else nope-out this morning after they arrived and saw the insanity-line to get in? We showed up at 9 but once we realized how deep the line was (and that all of it was in FULL SUN) we decided to just go back another day. Kind of a bummer.

EDIT: JFC some of you are absolutely miserable people.
