I watched the Spurs play the Mavs at AAC and Wembanyama in person is jarring. You think you understand how tall he is from TV. You do not. When he stands next to normal NBA players, it looks wrong.

The food east of 635 is DFW's best-kept secret. Lower rent = lower menu prices = better value for diners. Simple economics.

DATCU Stadium on a good night is actually a fun experience. The student section brings energy when they show up. The problem is getting them to show up consistently.

I waited 55 minutes at the In-N-Out on Greenville Ave and would do it again. My Whataburger friends don't talk to me anymore.

Rodeo Goat Big Bubba is the best burger in Texas. Not just DFW. Texas.

Profit sharing last year was 7.5% of my salary. That was a nice surprise check.

Max Duggan getting benched in the preseason and becoming a Heisman finalist is the most incredible individual story in recent college football history.

I work from home and I still set the alarm. These guys are bold enough to enter even in broad daylight.

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.

Civil Engineer, TxDOT (DFW district). 5 YOE. $82K base. State benefits and pension are the real comp. No one's getting rich but it's stable.

I bought in Celina in 2023. Home value is up 12%. But the commute to my Dallas office is killing me. 55 min on a good day.

Demetrious Johnson having 11 defenses with almost zero recognition compared to Conor shows the sport values spectacle over substance.

Player health is the real issue nobody wants to talk about. These are amateur athletes playing 16-17 games now. NFL players get paid millions for that workload.

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.

I get these calls at least twice a week. Block the number and they call from a different one. Its relentless.

Any bars in Dallas that do Red River Rivalry watch parties for people who cannot get tickets? Looking for a good atmosphere without the $500+ ticket price.

Hot take: ties are fine. Soccer, the most popular sport on earth, has ties. Not every game needs a winner. It rewards consistent play across 60 minutes.

The fake HOA fine letters are scary good. Real letterhead, real-looking fine amounts. But the QR code goes to a payment page that steals your card info.

I have started therapy specifically because of this interchange. My therapist also commutes on 635 so we cry together.

Pro tip: download the DFW Airport app. It sends push notifications when the ground stop is lifted.

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

The "I am the reason your rent went up" translation is painfully accurate. Please stop moving here. But also welcome. But also stop.

The "every drive is 30 minutes" rule is the most accurate thing anyone has ever said about DFW. Across the street? 30 minutes. Across the metroplex? 30 minutes. Time is a flat circle here.

The NFL has a salary cap for competitive balance. College football has none. Until there is a cap or standardized NIL framework, the rich will keep getting richer.

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

The US market growth is the real story. F1 went from niche to mainstream in America in 3 years. Austin, Miami, and Vegas races are sold out. Verstappen dominance did not slow that.
