When you’re sitting on a bucket pulling weeds in the front yard and your daughter pulls up in her friend’s ride, which is new and nicer than anything you’ve ever owned. At least my daughter smiled at me when she got out and said hi before going in the house.

This is a photo of Texas Longhorn superfan Scott Wilson in his longhorn-themed Cadillac. Scott was undoubtedly on his way to a game when this was taken. Before he died last year at the age of 74, Scott had seen 595 longhorn games in a row, without missing a single one. Courtesy Scott's social media.

When cities invest in nature, they invest in people. It was a delight working with @hoinski.bsky.social on this story that shows how McAllen, Texas, has done just that at Quinta Mazatlan.
