Houston drivers are known for driving fast. San Antonio drivers are known for driving slow. As a native Austinite, I don’t want to be known for eating salads while driving. Taken y’day (by my passenger) on IH-35 at 5:30pm. @EvilMopacATX prolly loves this behavior.

#ABIA lines as if 5:55am on 3/14/26. #ATXAirport Seems like lines at all 4 security checkpoints make their way outside.

Even though my family started in a line that began outside, it only took 40 minutes to make it through security. (The TSA✅ in the middle.)

Why Rocket the border collie loves me most. I can’t be the only one who lets their dog “clean” the peanut butter jar before pitching it in the recycle, right?

#TxLegeBatman approves of this scavenger hunt method for some great #TxLege artwork!
Because going outside is excellent for productivity and mental health, why not have a second one today! Happy hunting, #txlege! P.s. please post pic if found!

Because I know @3SeveralDays will ask - the #TxLegeBatman hasn't been to Cedar Park in ages. But if that bat keeps this up - he's gonna #FAFO - I don't like going up that far north, but I will if called upon.

Apparently I don't know Cody (@CodyforTexas) from Cody (@cvasut). POO sustained & I'd like to offer an amendment to the amendment & respectfully ask #CapNCrush & #LittleCody to join as co-authors to my amendment to the amendment. Thanks #TxLege peeps for setting me straight.

It was great catching the man in black y’day for a quick photo with some other #TxLege regulars who understood the assignment. #PaintItBlack Cc: @VikkiGoodwinTX, @toddahunter, @SalmanBhojaniTX, @LASimmonsTX146

For those participating in "Paint the House Black" day today - we're going to meet in the pit on the 2nd floor stairs for a photo op with Chairman @toddahunter on adjournment. Listen for announcements and/or spread the word. #TxLege #PaintTheHouseBlack

I got honked at today by an empty @waymo #WhiteGhost in my own neighborhood. Flipping the bird to a robot just doesn’t have the same satisfaction.

For those fans of both @nbcsnl & @nytimes…the brilliant minds behind #Connections trolled the SNL opening skit from 5/3/25 (Trump exec orders).

My big dilemma for my very first #SneakerThursday of the #TxLege season. I almost texted @DiegoBernalTX or @leachfortexas for counsel. I went with the dress socks. Did I get it right?
