ROAD SINKS

You just took delivery of that Bentley. It's almost spring. It's a perfect sunset, the temperature about 65. You are on the backside of Spanish Oaks Club Boulevard. It looks wide open. No traffic. No kids. The devil on your right shoulder snarls, "To the FLOOR!" You obey. Within seconds your nerves all fire at once as you approach triple digit speed. Then, "WHAM!!!" your suspension takes a hit.

Later, Donny, the Bentley repair guy, puts the cost at $5000 and change. He says, "These babies are really built tight, or it could have cost some REAL money!"

This fantasy brought to you by the road sinking patch on the rear of Spanish Oaks Boulevard. Last we saw it was marked with cones.

SNOW

Transplants know that everyone in the media - well, TV anyway, WAYoverreacted. An inch. --- LIVE TEAM COVERAGE --- Ooooooo.

But in a strange logic, why not? After all, this is the second time IN 19 YEARS since we had all that much snow at once. One inch.

Now it's a day later, the temperature in the shade is 50+ and there are still a few snowpatch refugees, hiding in mulch, defying their genetic programming to wet themselves.

THE BIG PROPANE TANK

According to the MUD engineer, we are very near to installation of the tank. After many iterations of the site plan, they have finally received approvals from TCEQ & The City of Bee Cave.

This will be much larger than what we have, which requires more fillups which also add fees each time.

71

As you no doubt have noted, the east side of "our" 71 has prep underway to accommodate the addition of a turn lane. The job has been 'let.' Construction soon!
