My package has been on an amazing journey, thanks to the USPS. Cincinnati -> Dallas -> Austin -> San Antonio -> back to Cincinnati (ha ha!) -> back to Dallas. Hopefully, next time it makes it to San Antonio, it will be for longer than a drive by.

Wish I had time to comb through all the Texas AG Ken Paxton (Dave P.) stuff today. But the Uber records stand out. Seems like he stays at Trump properties a lot. I know you have to squint, but I counted once in vegas and four in Chicago (along with a trip to Church's chicken!)
