The rivalry between Houston and Dallas isn’t anything new. For decades these two cities have sniped at each other over a variety of topics that both either feel important to be best at, or deny being worst at. All-in-all some pretty basic civic rivalry. In 2005 Houston joined Dallas in the MLS when the San Jose Earthquakes shook themselves over …
Dealing with the modified – 5th in a series
If you are here because of this article then I’m glad you visited. This is the fifth “article” in this series and you could probably stand to read the other four.

I attend a lot of live music events and looking back on the long list of shows I attended in the past ten years …
Vulgarity vs. the State of Texas

A company by the name of MyPlates.com was given a renewal by Texas to handle vanity license plates with a whole bevy of new designs that look about a bajillion times better than the piece of crap …
