How very helpful.

This is a sore spot for me. The DFW Metroplex is in the process of
turning my part of the state into a water farm for the benefit of
suburban lawns. One artificial lake at a time, the 'burbs are
flooding east Texas without regard to the locals, the environment,
wildlife, or traditional land uses out here.

Water should be expensive. It's costing my part of the world a lot.

OBFood: D and I are heading over to McKinney this afternoon to pick up
the plates for her new car. While we're there we'll check out a tapas
bar just off the old downtown square. I had lunch there once, but I
need to explore their menu in greater depth.
