@TxDOTAustin Around 10:45 this morning, it would have been nice to have a heads up that bridge construction was forcing all northbound I-35 traffic onto the upper deck. I felt sorry for anyone trying to get to the St. David’s emergency room.

@krystalrnurse @APStylebook @MerriamWebster @Dictionarycom “Petted” is correct.

@baylisswagner That was the loudest, lowest flyover we’ve ever experienced in our corner of Austin! Super intense.

I’ve sometimes seen advanced notice by some official entity. Wish they’d announce every flyover, whether it’s the police, city, Texas State Cemetery, UT or whoever knows about it.

@sitnround @DrJeffMasters Katrina weakened from a Category 5 to a Category 3 before making landfall in Louisiana.

@aggiejournalist @linkerm My sister and I had a PO Box there for years! I used to love gazing at the New Deal mural while I waited in line. Is it still there?

[Christine Forrest @cforrestATX]

The preposition is where it’s at.

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

It is permissible in English for a preposition to be what you end a sentence with.

The idea that it should be avoided came from writers who were trying to align the language with Latin, but there is no reason to suggest ending a sentence with a preposition is wrong.

One more reason to love @CentralMarket: When we went back to pick up something that had been left out of our order, the Austin Westgate Curbside team gave us brownies, to boot! Thanks for the great service.

@aggiejournalist Thanks to OPAS, in the ‘90s I got to see Mikhail Baryshnikov perform, then devour half a roasted chicken at Cafe Eccell as an encore.

@sandrasantos Kevin also conducts the Austin Ukestra, including yours truly. The ukulele is a beautiful, joyful instrument. Excited to hear you want to try your hand!

[Christine Forrest @cforrestATX]

@sandrasantos Kevin Carroll, aka @edUKEcator, is a great person to ask! He’s also a Kala dealer and can recommend starter ukes with good quality at a decent price.

If you arn't going to get to see #Eclipse2017 as a total Eclipse you only have to wait until 2024 to get your chance in Texas!

Had a blast at Library of Congress recently, when Capitol Hill staffers sampled products from #FarmCredit customers!

[Christine Forrest @cforrestATX]

@aggiejournalist So many memories at Cafe Eccell! Lyle Lovett was a regular + I once watched Baryshnikov devour a roasted chicken there.

[Christine Forrest @cforrestATX]

@bourbonitis @aggiejournalist I've had the same craving for a few weeks! Is our sixth sense picking up a new Dutch cheese release?

[Christine Forrest @cforrestATX]

Congrats to former colleague @fedmanwalking for the NPR interview about his new taco adventures! Enjoy the SA eats. https://t.co/y1FPOKm9TQ
