Went to Greenspoint Mall today
Obligatory don’t try this
Ring around the sun around 2:30pm
Did anyone capture the ring around the sun today? These halos are pretty rare and typically caused by light reflected by the ice crystals, but I think this one formed because of all the particles suspended in air from the July 4th fireworks. If someone has a better explanation or a photo, please share. Thanks!
Favorite Unique restaurants
What are some of your favorite unique restaurants in Houston? Can be unique food, or interesting vibe, or whatever.
I’m thinking this while eating dinner at Spaghetti Western. Gotta love all the movie posters plus the twists on Tex-Italian food. And best breadsticks anywhere.
Did anyone notice how bare fireworks stands were yesterday
Even compared to new years eve, which was also pretty tame compared to even the year before.

Anyone know if no killer shelters taking in cats no questions asked?
Will be moving in less then a week and have had no luck on finding a home for this stay I took in last year. My neighbors abandoned him and moved away, just left him in the cold. I can’t take him with me and have tried different shelters with no one wanting to take him in. Tried adopt a pet with no shows to meet him. I feel like I did a good thing in bringing him in and taking care of him but I just can’t take him with me.
Cadbury Eclairs in Houston?
Hi Houston,
Have you seen Cadbury Eclairs in any stories in the Houston area - maybe Asian or Indian grocery stores? Any tips would be appreciated - thanks!
Don’t Park on the Bridge
I’m stuck on the bridge over Buffalo Bayou and watching an ambulance also in traffic. All because people are parked along both sides. Not ok.
Can Centerpoint get more hate for not having an autopay option?
I don’t need more taxes for not thinking about a gas company monopoly that won’t just charge me at the time it thinks I need to be charged.
Gun stores that aren't overly conservative/maga supporting?
I am considering purchasing a handgun for hobby (friend took me to a range a while ago and I really liked it and would like to shoot more)/self defense but would frankly be extremely uncomfortable going to any buisness that is super conservative or maga, which I sort of figure most gun related buisnesses are (i mean, i could be wrong, it is a recent interest of mine so i know very little about the culture)
Really I am just looking for any gun stores/ranges that would be welcoming to a very obviously queer person. I just want to feel safe wherever I go. If the honest answer is that there are none then I'll probably just go with a few friends that are more "normie passing" lol
Edit because a lot of people misunderstand. I am not incapable or unwilling to interact with people who do not agree with me politically. I just personally prefer to give my money to businesses that do not support ideology that harms me.

abc13.comCafes to go to solo to, for someone away from social life but want to step into it after isolation? CPTSD man. Early 20’s. Can drive.
Hard to trust people but isolation sucks, and my social anxiety needs work. Places other than cafes welcome.
i’ve also not dated so inexperienced for 4 traumatic years
Tiny protest at Ella and TC Jester
I was driving by The Long Weekend to see if it was open/busy today (its usually packed with a line out the door). At the intersection of Ella and TC Jester, there were 6 or 8 people, all older white folks, waving signs. The light was green so I couldn't stop and yell out a question to them. The signs were generic anti violence pro peace signs. Not sure what their political alignment was. Are there protests in general going on in Houston today? Any idea what these folks were protesting, more specific than being anti-violence?
