Morning update: At 48%, Taylor Rehmet was about 3,000 votes short of winning outright. The last Democrat in this race drew 40%, and Harris drew 42%, so Rehmet improved Dem turnout. However, he would need independents to win the Jan runoff and then the Nov general. (Rehmet in blue.) #sd9 #txlege

Best menu I’ve seen so far for DFW Restaurant “Week” — actually, August 4-31 — is at Wicked Butcher. $59 for 2 courses including some of the best prime steakhouse entrees and sea bass in town. Went twice during the Cliburn and it was very good.
