    Whataburger was closed last night and I couldn't get my patty melt, so this has already hit me hard.

    Kind of interesting - can we get drinks at restaurants since the sodas and teas are mixed with water?

    I had to buy bottled water and coffee here at our workplace cafeteria. Funny how the food is reasonably priced but the bottled beverages are expensive AF. Wonder if I can get my company to reimburse me?

    MAJOR coffee deprivation right now. Hit the Friday wall, hard. I'm gonna sue those contractors who broke that pipe. Such an unbelievable hardship.

    So they won't know until 8 or 9 tonight if the test this morning passed safety standards or not? What a pain.

    Now I can't tell if the people at Costco are panic buying from coronavirus or the broken pipe.

    Nothing makes me feel freer than my kids breathing in xylene and having to boil my water! Unfettered capitalism, your fist stops where my nose begins!

    I was at an inspection in Baytown a few months back which was right in front of the explosion on 330.

    The City Official said that if we want to enjoy our straws then that's the cost of that.

    The real question is how the city's Waffle Houses are doing.
