I never intentionally set out to write 3 stories on #water in Texas, they just happened. Thank you to Texas Highways Magazine and the 🐐 for making them a reality. I hope you visit Silver Falls, The Narrows, and Barton Springs someday. Starting with my latest: texashighways.com/outdoors/tra...

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

"Running isn’t a contact sport, though I’d argue the pain inflicted during endurance sports hurts more intensely than a hit you might take on the football field. In essence, you’re suffocating yourself." @iandille.bsky.social

I found myself in Sunset Valley this morning at a farmer’s market. Micro-greens, pickles, honey, & jams in jars We stepped in line for sourdough croissants filled w choc. The bakers told me they had been up since 7 the night before. Grabbed some Turkish coffee & saw a baby with most silver-blue eyes
