Need a Houston Date idea that isn't just another dinner reservation because dinner is fine, but we have done dinner to death

Flock is cancer. What business does Houston law enforcement have searching Ohio county flock cameras? Where are the guardrails?

The Houston Chronicle has an op-ed from a UH professor who spent 13 years in the Texas Medical Center and realized that many of the people taking care of him were immigrants. Here's a key quote:

>When I was hired for a fellowship at Rice University in 2006, one of my interviewers spoke favorably about healthcare options here. I still remember him saying, “Houston is a good place to get sick.”

>This year, I put his conviction to the test with a 13-night stay at Houston Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center. I was admitted after an allergic reaction to a drug selected by my insurance provider over the recommendation of my specialist. For nearly two weeks, I got to know Methodist’s doctors, nurses and other staff well. They were competent and kind, and many of them weren’t born in this country.

>At the end of my stay, amid the Trump administration’s sweeping anti-immigrant rhetoric, I wondered: Will these immigrant healthcare workers continue to come here?

From Cinco Ranch to Harlem, I counted 5 state troopers parked in the grass around noon. Yes, I slammed on my brakes each time.

The president will headline an Aug. 27 fundraiser for Paxton in Houston, a source confirmed to ABC News -- an event that could generate millions of dollars for the cash-strapped Republican nominee, who has trailed Democratic State Rep. James Talarico, his opponent, in fundraising for months.

Where are the frogs? I love frogs, and the ones by my house have gone away for a bit. Where can I go to look at done frogs right now?

Been driving the freeways daily for years and by far some of the worst aggressive drivers are cyclists. Lane splitting/filtering, speeding excessively, and reckless maneuvers continually. Not saying this particular person was reckless, but no one is surprised when a cyclist is involved in an accident. Just don't 'get' their desire to take chances on the roads.

Frank Beard, the drummer for legendary Houston Rock band ZZ Top has sadly passed away

Anyone?

There’s bunches of maps but I can’t identify the streets very well. They are all poor quality and most are downright illeligible

I'm an introvert who has to often "turn it on" and be extroverted. I socialize but prefer to keep it to the same 5 people.

I'm not looking for a relationship. I'm very much ok with being alone and have zero desire for a relationship (haven't been in one for a decade).

I WFH, sometimes from coffee shops, usually not.

I'm ok with being alone. Finally. I'm getting better at it. But being lonely is what I'm struggling with.

There are days like today that I'm doom scrolling, haven't done anything productive, not even interested in reading a book, and those 5 friends are busy.

Is there a place I can go to not feel lonely and interact with people without feeling obligated to be super sociable?

I have nothing against a good conversation with a couple of people, but large gatherings are starting to give me more and more anxiety and nervousness. (I'm 39F woman and such a cliche ha)

I can often be a night owl so a place where people are out late is also helpful.

P.s. I can explain more about myself and what brings me here but I'm getting flack on another reddit post about the length of my story about a family trip ha. Trying to keep it brief...
