So far, 93% of Lost Creek votes to leave the city of Austin.

- Some personal news: my father, Bill, passed away Tuesday. If you ever went to Peoples Rx, you probably ran into him, or even knew him. Decent chance he knew you, too. He founded Peoples in 1980 and was a pillar in the Austin community ever since.
- Austin City Council is about to vote on nearly a million dollars for art. Wondering if that money could be used to help solve bigger problems. Maybe the 911 call center?

- Lachlan’s previous walking record was 3 steps, today he smashed that and got 8! Won’t be much longer! Another big proud dad moment:

- Replying to @BillAckman @LeftismForU and 2 othersIf it’s not revised to a total repudiation then what’s the point? The Party totally supports DEI, so any half measures will signal that he’s not serious and there would be a stronger chance that he back tracks if elected.
