Annual written resolutions are as much about letting the past go as it is putting the future in a better place in your mind. Mental obsessions become physical manifestations. Make 2023 your best year yet sports fans!

I-35 corridor, Hill country, RGV, West Texas..etc. Generational selfishness is to not fix the water shortage issues and leave areas without water for the generation 50 years from now. Water shortage is a real issue that needs to be addressed now! nondoc.com/2022/05/24/fut…

2/3 of Texas is and has been impacted by a drought for the last year. Groundwater depletions along 1-35 are real. Fortune 500 companies in the lower Brazos basin have chose to expand in other states due to lack of firm water.Need to put 4 billion of surplus in water projects now!

“ Remember, no man is a failure who has friends. You see George, you really had a wonderful life. You've been given a great gift, George, a chance to see what the world would be like without you. Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings. Y’all make life wonderful!

As we get older we have more appreciation for things old versus new. The calm water of Christmas allows us to hug our family and friends before we turn into the open water of a new year. Merry Christmas and hope 2023 is a year of positive transformation for all of you. Carpe Diem

Amazing that in 2022 we all watch the grid performance like our gas gauge on our car when we are on empty and the next gas station is 20 miles away. We can do better than this Texas. Go back to a capacity market (AKA 1999 regulated market) and the issue will be resolved quickly.

Stay warm, humble and kind the next few days. Merry Christmas

Lot of Texas farmers, construction companies, hotel and restaurant owners could use more help. Vetting the labor force on the border and set up state guest worker program to get company to sponsor immigrants for tracking and keep them out of shadows. wsj.com/articles/state…

Slippery slope society is trying to navigate right now. You don’t like an App disconnect, don’t like a book don’t read it..the censorship that many are talking about has us in a time travel machine going back to the early 1940’s in Eastern Europe. History is Prologue.

Seems like the years are passing by faster..We gather for Christmas and we slide into 2023. Depression and anxiety are heightened for friends and family lost or for life expectations not met. Be humble and kind to everyone around you..a warm smile and hug heals a lot of wounds.

International Boundary Water Commissioners discussing reductions of 70k acre feet of Colorado River water going to Mexico. Mexico is 800k acre feet behind in Rio Grande water deliveries in Texas. Close the dams at Mead and Powell will fix the problem of compliance to 1944 treaty.

“When you're content to simply be yourself and not compare or compete, everyone will respect you.” —Lao Tzu Life is short so quit looking for praise from others and focus on helping the world get a bit better for the next generation to come. Fame and misery are kindred spirits.

Becky Mitchell, Colorado Water Conservation Board, addressing the monumental flow reductions in the Colorado River: “We have planned on a river that is not there” This is the future in Texas river basins.. Demand management and priority system allocations are forthcoming SOON

Water will be the biggest challenge our state will face to sustain growth and a surging population. Today’s generation will inherit water scarcity and needs to be involved in water decisions today. Agree with the Comptroller we need to invest in water solutions NOW.

Worn out wastewater treatment facilities, Unprecedented groundwater depletions, Over Prescribed River Basins and a long standing drought. This will take longer to fix than the Grid. Need to start by infusing $4 billion of surplus to incentivize water infrastructure build out now.

A football savant that slayed the great dragons of the gridirons with relative ease.A brilliant mind of history wrapped in humor that motivated legions of young men.The spirit of the Pirate of the High Plains will live with us every Saturday. He taught all of us how to live. RIP

As we get older invariably we experience more lost of friends and family. Lot of friends have lost parents this year. Only advice is to capture their smile, warmth, encouragement and grace in your mind. Let them live spiritually present in your life..they will always be there.

“A divided two-party system makes effective governing difficult under any political system but almost impossible given U.S. governing institutions” Far right/left should split from each party and become part of a coalition government- This is not working. foreignpolicy.com/2019/10/19/us-…
