Here’s Becca aura farming again. Do you think she just knows how pretty she looks, or it a coincidence? A ranch with longhorns is never dull 🤘🏻

I'm telling everyone who asks here in France that I'm from Texas.

European wine snobs love to turn up their noses at American wine, but they conveniently forget that their precious vineyards would be literal dirt if Central Texas hadn't bailed them out. Back in the 1800s, a nasty root-eating bug pushed the French wine industry to the brink of total extinction until they came begging the Lone Star State for help. Today, a whopping 80% to 90% of all grapevines in France are physically spliced onto the rugged, subterranean roots of the stubborn Central Texas Mustang Grape. Because those nasty bugs are still chilling in the European soil today, French grapes cannot survive on their own. Every single bottle of overpriced French wine you buy is a total hybrid—delicate European fruit up top, riding piggyback on a tough-as-nails Texan bodyguard down below.
The French really ought to be writing "thank you" notes to the rocky, sun-baked hills of Central Texas every single day. While roots from other states withered and quit, those Central Texas vines had spent centuries surviving brutal droughts and limestone dirt, making them completely immune to the bugs. In 1887, thousands of rugged Central Texas cuttings were shipped across the pond, and French farmers had to slice open their fancy vines and glue them onto Texas muscle just to keep from going belly up.

@_The_Prophet__ True but location can be valuable. New homes are usually far from city center, amenities and most importantly jobs.

@JenRobichaux Very sorry for your loss. I just lost my cat too a month ago. It takes time to deal with it. I hope you get through this rough period quickly.

@BlackLabelAdvsr I wish they would keep their mouth shut. It's like blabbing about a good fishing spot.

@LoewyLawFirm Not practical and too cost prohibitive. Limestone rock all underneath this area.

@Avonleebythesea Dan Simmons was so profoundly impactful on me that I couldn't pick up another sci fi book again. Just couldn't handle being disappointed since I had read the best.

Went swimming yesterday and foolishly didn't put on sunscreen. Now I'm sun burnt and look like a cooked lobster. Wow I forgot how bad it can be. #ouchy

@austinreforms Lol

[Anthony Hicks @AnthonyHicksATX]

@MaryTilesTexas How did this happen

[Anthony Hicks @AnthonyHicksATX]

@JenRobichaux Thank you

[Anthony Hicks @AnthonyHicksATX]

@austinreforms Sounds like fraud to me. Who's to say they aren't paying their buddies for nothing? No oversight or repercussion is guaranteed to encourage fraud.

[Anthony Hicks @AnthonyHicksATX]

@austinreforms @austintexasgov Zero tax payer dollars should go to a city without proper accounting protocols and accountability. Also has to be severe penalties for fraud and abuse.

@Super70sSports I can feel the awful hangover already

[Anthony Hicks @AnthonyHicksATX]

I saw this small snake trying to swallow this large toad. I'm like woah there buddy don't get greedy.
