Two years ago today. I miss him so.

Houston isn't known as a tourist destination, but it should be. Here's my recommendations on what to see and do, and where to eat and drink, in the largest city in Texas: reuters.com/city-memo/housto…

Does everyone understand that the United States just gave up being the leader of the world? It’s not just that other countries don’t trust Trump, they don’t trust a system which would allow such craven soulless morons to gain power in the first place. And they’re RIGHT.

It will never counterbalance everything else, but if I can take up two minutes of storage space on this platform with just dogs on a beach at first light, then I'm going to do that.

We hope you enjoyed all of our updates of snowy paws, hooves, and beaks during winter storm Enzo. The Houston Zoo reopened today with regular hours. Read more about how some of our animals enjoyed the snow: bit.ly/4jHGh5t

Comet C/2024 G3 ATLAS has made a dramatic appearance in planet Earth's skies. A visitor from the distant Oort Cloud, the comet reached its perihelion on January 13. On January 19, the bright comet was captured here from ESO Paranal Observatory in the Atacama desert in Chile. Sporting spectacular sweeping dust tails, this comet ATLAS is setting in the southern hemisphere twilight and was clearly visible to the unaided eye. In the foreground is the closed shell of one of the observatory's famous auxiliary telescopes. Still wowing southern hemisphere observers, the comet's bright coma has become diffuse, its icy nucleus apparently disintegrating following its close approach to the Sun.

The morning of 20th January. Brushing the snow from his fur, the Fox of Greenwich Village sat down by the far window in the coffee shop. He ordered cinnamon toast and a pot of coffee. He was meeting a friend, an old badger, a professor at NYU, who arrived not long afterwards, ordering more coffee and a slice of chocolate layer cake. "Well," said the Fox, at last, "here we are, Prof. The day itself." "I often think of Hazlitt's words," said the Badger, carefully pouring cream, "'Egotism is an infirmity that perpetually grows upon a man, till at last he cannot bear to think of anything but himself, nor even to suppose that others do.' That sort of poisonous fire never lasts, it may flame and rain sparks for a while, suck in the air around it, but it never lasts for very long in the great scheme of things. And God grinds exceptionally fine, exceptionally fine." With that, the badger finished his cake, and lit his pipe. And together they watched the snow falling like feathers, a strange heavenly balm quietening the city's brawling roar.
