It was a town when I was a kid. It's all unincorporated now, although the area surrounding it is starting to be developed and growing in population quickly.

I hate it because we're about to lose our Hill Country's beauty. There seems to be no end to the development.

We have had a stray car parked on our easement so bicycle riders can do their thing. My neighbors have painted their fence posts purple. I have posted some " No trespassing" signs. The hippies in Austin think the whole state is their playground. The people in Willow City really have it bad.

@Sirhornsalot Thank you for understanding

You're welcome. For about 10 years, we were doing projects in the Austin area. I think there are about 150 different landscapes, flagstone patios, outdoor kitchens, etc. down there that we created. Through all of that, I was able to see the growth up close and even back then, I feared for what was happening in the Hill Country.

Austin is a city that depends on a river coming from a desert to supply itself with water. That is insane. Have no idea why they haven't attempted to build a large reservoir, perhaps on the east side, to help with the water demand. That demand increases with each day, literally.

Once the houses, stores, etc are built, the beauty is lost. And it's a real shame. The Hill Country used to be so beautiful and still is in a few areas that are left undeveloped, so far.

The TX panhandle doesn't have near the beauty as the hill country but the same is happening. Farms and ranches are being sold to developers that then come in and place everyone on 1-2 acres plots with a well. My little community may soon be 40 sq miles with only 40K people...and a draining aquifer. Not to mention instead of seeing rolling planes, we now get to see everyone's junk collection.

Most of the people coming here are California locusts fleeing their shithole to turn other places into shitholes.

So Ohio State called up CDC and asked if Texas would agree to move our game from Noon Saturday to Prime Time Sunday.

Texas said no.

Of course OSU wanted a night game at the shoe. No thanks.

I guess you can't blame them for asking, but CDC probably laughed at the request.

Well, we are 1-0 on night games at the show.

Is this your list?

Kade Phillips might be higher for me. His IQ and skills are higher than most. Both Charles and Sharma would be lower, but still there. I hear Sharma's ceiling is higher than first thought. Lance Jackson would be higher for me. Lots of chatter about him. Brooks has earned the moniker "1st Round"

No one expected Littleton to be as far along as he is.

No it's Brad Kellner's

Texas fans are asking who is John Mateer? He threw for over 3100 yards and if you take away sack yardage he rushed for over 1000. Those stats are scary when you're the DC.

No doubt, he's good. But I am a bit skeptical due to where and who he played. Wash State doesn't play good compettition. SEC will be a different world for him. Can't wait to see him get Bomar'd in the Cotton Bowl.
