On September 11, 2001, Longhorn Kevin Tuerff’s flight bound for NYC was forced to land in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, Canada. The kindness he was met with changed his life. Read more in @TheAlcalde.

HOUSTON: My dog SAMO broke out of a gate on Aug. 16 on Oakdale Street (between Museum District and Third Ward) #HarrisCounty

He is about 40 pounds, kinda looks like a lab mix, is very friendly and hopefully wearing a camo collar.

Pls help me find him :(

Talked four (maybe five🤞🏼) family members into getting the vaccine this week!

As much as I wanted to shake them and yell, turns out patiently talking through their fears and about my own experience worked much better!

[Zach Despart @zachdespart]

655 patients (63 ICU) in the region are in ERs waiting for general or ICU hospital beds, per SETRAC.
For context, Houston could build another Ben Taub Hospital, fill it, and still have patients waiting.

Texans who are homebound can call 844-90-TEXAS (844-908-3927) and select Option 1 to request a mobile vaccination team to come to their home.

GREAT story by @erinmdouglas23: San Antonio built a pipeline to rural Central Texas to increase its water supply. Landowners say their wells are running dry https://t.co/btdi0dK3h3 #txlege

[Erin Douglas 📝🌎🕵🏻‍♀️ @erinmdouglas23]

A water pipeline gave San Antonio water security "for decades to come."

But rural landowners—whose wells are now going dry—see unchecked urban growth.

It's one example of the fight over groundwater in Texas as climate change brings more severe droughts: https://t.co/vBs25lK4dm
