Unfortunately, California is like a restaurant with a great view, where the chefs don’t try to make good food because they know you’re paying for the scenery not the service.
Texas actually did something like this, but better. Starting in the 1960s, thanks to Lady Bird Johnson and the Highway Beautification Act, Texas began planting native wildflowers along highways.
Today, TxDOT manages about 800,000 acres of roadside and intentionally delays mowing until early summer after wildflowers have bloomed and dropped seed.
Mowing late in the season allows the wildflowers to stay vigorous and not get crowded out by taller grasses or trees and shrubs.
Take a drive along Texas highways in the Spring and you will enjoy a beautiful display of Bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrush, Coreopsis, Winecup, Mexican Hat, Indian Blanket, and more!
Then thank Ladybird Johnson and TxDOT’s commitment to keeping Texas Highways beautiful.
One of the best stories of the entire bowl season just went down in San Antonio.
Bram Kohlhausen, who made his only career start for TCU in the 2016 Alamo Bowl, totaled 396 yards and 4 TD in a comeback OT win over Oregon. In 2023, he was injured in a hunting accident after falling more than 70 feet and had to have both of his legs amputated.
A decade later, he was back in the Alamodome tonight to root on QB Ken Seals — a lifelong TCU fan who also made his only career start in the Alamo Bowl in a comeback OT win over USC.
Both will never have to buy a drink in Fort Worth ever again.
An amazing story only fit for college football.

And he just got denied an H-1B visa because we made him enter a lottery to get one.
Absolutely insane that this is how our immigration system works.
