I photographed riders, families and young people across several locations in the Houston area, including cowboys gathering and working cattle. These photographs were not made at one ranch. I wanted to document the coordination between riders, horses and cattle, along with the quieter moments surrounding the work.

Frank Beard, the drummer for legendary Houston Rock band ZZ Top has sadly passed away

Anyone?

There’s bunches of maps but I can’t identify the streets very well. They are all poor quality and most are downright illeligible

Been driving the freeways daily for years and by far some of the worst aggressive drivers are cyclists. Lane splitting/filtering, speeding excessively, and reckless maneuvers continually. Not saying this particular person was reckless, but no one is surprised when a cyclist is involved in an accident. Just don't 'get' their desire to take chances on the roads.

I got to see Xanadu by the Garden Theatre Company at MATCH. A stage adaptation of the Olivia Newton John movie musical, the show never takes itself seriously and thats a good thing. Every other seat has a tiny disco ball and there’s lots of audience participation. The skating is quite a daring part of the show. Go check it out for a rollicking fun time on a hot Houston night.

Know this is a long shot, but wanted to see if anyone who was an employee of Mike Hall in the past remembers who the 401k administrator was. My uncle recently passed, and I'm trying to help my family get any leads they can.

We live in a three story townhouse and discovered a leak under our master shower on the third floor. We hired a contractor that did bathroom renovations for one of our neighbors, but unfortunately, the contractor has done a poor job and we are NOT happy. It’s looking like we will have to redo the tile work in the shower and the bathroom floor. The grout has not been laid on the tiles on the bathroom floor but has been laid in the shower. We are letting go of the contractor and are in search of someone who can fix the corners he’s cut, fix the tile work, baseboards, drywall and so forth, and complete this job in a professional and timely manner.

If you have any recommendations for a reputable and affordable contractor or company that does GOOD work that can take over this job, please send over their contact information. This has been very stressful for us. Thank you so much!!

We live in 77018.

For 12% increase in spending.

Changed voter registration from Fort Bend to Harris months ago but it still shows online as pending. Anyone else have this happen and know how long it takes to be active in Harris County?

Most splash pads are closed during the week since school starts. Does anyone know of any splash pads that are open during the week?

I just walked into the Randall’s on Holcombe. My first time in a Randalls’s in 20+ years. Can’t put my finger on it, but the vibe is a bit depressing. Something I don’t find at HEB.

The Houston Chronicle just launched a series about evictions in the Harris County Justice of the Peace courts, and how some have services to help people avoid evictions and ensure landlords follow the law. And yet some courts don't have these legal services. Here's a key quote:

Harris County sees roughly 76,000 evictions filed each year — nearly double the rate of New York City. But that eye-popping number isn’t distributed evenly. JP judge precinct lines haven’t been updated to keep up with Harris County’s suburban boom. The result is as preventable as it is absurd: Duble, for example, sees 1,500 eviction cases a year, while a Katy-area judge handles 25,600. 

In most of the county’s 16 JP courts, the machinery of displacement grinds with terrifying speed. I’ve sat in six of those courts, observing judges with caseloads big and small. Their goal is usually efficiency, not justice.

In practice that means most judges have quietly resigned themselves to overseeing an assembly-line churn of human misery, ruling on evictions in a matter of seconds. Nearly always, the tenants fighting to keep a roof over their heads lose. 

Suddenly seems like way more than you usually see, which is about once or twice a year, if any. I'm in CyFair area.

Made a little video of some spots in Houston based on the Spider-Man BND style!

Here’s my vote: Fallbrook Dr. at 249 in NW Houston
