Author: Robert E. Mace

I am a hydrogeologist who has worked almost 30 years in Texas. I've worked at the Bureau of Economic Geology and the Texas Water Development Board and presently work at the Meadows Center for Water and the Environment. In addition to aquifers, I love history and the intersection of science and policy. I also love cats and tacos.

tony c’s pizza and beer garden

We both wow’d the lasagna, a baptism of immersive tomato flavor and lavish cheese-and-beef richness.

Impressively, with all that has been going on (pandemic, threats to democracy), brave souls are opening new restaurants.

99 masks

So this is a little art project I call "99 masks" of masks I photographed in situ while picking up litter during my daily strolls.

kinda tropical

All in all, Kinda Tropical has created something kinda special, the non-pretentious lo-fi/hi-fi combo that we love so much.

fresa’s chicken al carbon

Fresa's follows all the state and local rules with mask-wearing and social distancing and, with ample outdoor space, is a glorious place to eat.

little ola’s biscuits

One of the worst kept secrets in town is that you can order off-menu biscuits at Olamaie, and, oh my, are they delicious. Soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside, and richer than your cousin who bought Tesla at $100.
