DFW Longhorn fans: the Texas Exes DFW chapter does incredible watch parties. Check their events page for season schedule.

The DFW high school to Heisman pipeline is real. Multiple winners and finalists came through metroplex programs. This area produces quarterbacks at a rate that is not normal.

State of Texas $0 health insurance premium for employee-only coverage is insane. That alone is worth $6-8K/year compared to private sector.

Pro tip: go on a weekday morning. Same barbacoa, no line. I go Tuesdays before work.

Texas Workforce Commission wage claims are public record. If a company has multiple claims filed, RUN.

Power rankings are entertainment. They are meant to spark debate, which is exactly what this post is doing. They serve their purpose perfectly.

Track your miles. I saved $4,200 on taxes last year from mileage deductions alone. Use Stride or Everlance app — it auto-tracks.

Any DFW fans making the drive to Austin for the US GP this year? I am putting together a carpool group. 3 hours down I-35 and we are at a world-class race.

Texas homestead protection is incredibly strong. Your primary residence is essentially uncollectable by most creditors. That's in the Texas Constitution.

"It's a dry heat" — whoever said this about DFW has never been here. It's 100 degrees with 60% humidity. Your clothes are wet before you leave the house.

The Kia/Hyundai thing is a design failure. These cars literally don't have engine immobilizers that every other manufacturer includes standard.

Leclerc is going to be the faster Ferrari driver. Hamilton is there for the marketing value and the farewell tour. The 8th title is a fairy tale, not a realistic goal.

Castle Doctrine applying to your vehicle is important to know. But the best defense is always to disengage and drive away if possible.

Pro tip: attend HOA board meetings BEFORE you buy. You'll learn more in one meeting than in all the documents combined.

Twisted Root for under $10 is getting harder. The burger is $9 but add fries and a drink and you're at $16.

The Cardinals championship drought since 1947 is the most insane stat in professional sports. That franchise has existed for almost 80 years without winning it all.

Small claims court is your friend. Filed against a painter who did garbage work and refused to fix it. Won $4,200. Process took 6 weeks total.

As a Cowboys fan, Jerry Jones has been conservative with restructures compared to the Saints. Whether that is smart or cowardly depends on whether you value long-term stability or short-term windows.

SGA is coming for that number 1 spot within 2 years. His defensive improvement has been insane and his scoring is already Jokic-level.

Normal wear and tear is legally defined but subjective. Generally: 3+ years of tenancy means they can't charge for carpet replacement or repainting unless there's actual damage beyond normal use.

Crawford from Omaha, Nebraska is the best boxer on planet Earth and he has fewer Instagram followers than most UFC prelim fighters. The marketing failure is staggering.

The Kia/Hyundai thing is a design failure. These cars literally don't have engine immobilizers that every other manufacturer includes standard.

My hot take: Deep Ellum peaked in 2019 and has been getting worse since. More chains, less character, higher prices, worse parking. The soul is leaving.

Adding Sewell BMW service if you have a BMW. Dealer pricing but the loaner cars and service are worth it for warranty work.
