Manziel winning as a freshman at A&M in 2012 was a cultural moment. He was must-watch television every Saturday. The most electrifying college player I have ever seen.

Got hit on 635 near the Skillman exit. Driver fled. Dashcam caught the plate. DPD tracked them down within a week. Dashcam was the only reason.

DART to the State Fair is non-negotiable. I watched someone spend 90 minutes trying to leave Fair Park by car. I was on the train home in 15 minutes.

The pension is the hidden gem. In 2026 almost nobody offers a pension. Toyota's is legit — defined benefit based on years of service.

26. Stockyards Championship Rodeo on a Friday night 27. Concerts at The Kessler Theater 28. Float the Brazos River 29. Tour the Dr Pepper Museum (Waco, but close enough) 30. Sundance Square on a Saturday night

The Standard Possession Order gives the non-custodial parent more time than most people realize. 1st/3rd/5th weekends plus Thursdays plus 30 summer days is significant.

TxDOT engineer here. $92K base, pension, $0 health insurance premium, and I work 40 hours a week. My private sector friends make $120K but work 55 hours and stress about layoffs.

Breed restrictions are the bane of pit bull owners in DFW. Call before applying and get the pet policy IN WRITING.

Southeast division resident here. The property crime spike is real. Three car break-ins on my block in January alone.

The Adobe student deal is insane. Full Creative Cloud for $20/mo when normies pay $55. Just need a .edu email.

DivorceCare at Watermark Church helped me through the worst year of my life. Cannot recommend enough even if you're not religious.

Any DFW staffing agency that contacts you unsolicited on LinkedIn for a "great opportunity" that turns out to be a 6-month contract with no benefits at 60% of your salary. The entire staffing agency model in DFW is broken.

Power rankings exist to generate clicks and arguments. They are content, not analysis. And yet here I am, reading them every Tuesday morning.

Robson Ranch in Denton is incredible. My parents moved there 3 years ago. The social calendar is busier than mine. Golf, pickle ball, book clubs, you name it.

Free street parking after 6 PM is the cheat code. Everyone pays $20-40 in the garages and I park for free 2 blocks away.

Sent a certified letter for a sewage backup in our Garland apartment. Landlord fixed it within 5 days. Before the letter, they ignored 3 phone calls over 2 weeks.

The offense will score runs. That's not the question. It's whether we can hold a 5-4 lead in the 7th.

A collector called me about a credit card debt from 2019. I asked for debt validation. They couldn't produce the original agreement. Debt was dropped.

Lake Highlands resident. Can confirm it feels very safe. But catalytic converter theft hit our street twice last year so property crime is still a thing.

The self-employment tax is what kills people. That 15.3% on top of income tax means your $16/hour is really $12/hour after taxes.

Kroger fuel points on gift cards is the real hack here. I buy Amazon and restaurant gift cards during 4x events and save a fortune on gas.

Drive to Survive deserves 80% of the credit. I had never watched a single race before Season 1. Now I wake up at 7 AM for European GPs. That show changed everything.

My Frisco HOA tried to fine me for having a "non-approved" shade of gray on my front door. It was literally one shade different from the sample. $200 fine. I fought it at the board meeting and won, but the pettiness is real.

My steering wheel gave me a second-degree burn last July. I now use oven mitts to drive. I am not exaggerating.

The romance of Hamilton winning an 8th title in Ferrari red would be the greatest story in F1 history. Even Verstappen fans would have to respect it.
