People online always ask whether the mesquite trees have buds. As though that were the controlling factor. We lost our wisteria blooms to a late freeze and that was like a month ago!

Amarillo forecast. Current temp 60 degrees f; high 84 degrees; low 46; freeze warning

Y’all….

Least original take: the tax code is too damn complicated.

Cause that sounds awful 😢 .

Oh! I see. So this is like … something that is going to go badly and that you will dwell on for months or years after … but something absolutely necessary that you have to do as part of standing up for your clients?

What if everything turns out ok? Or , even just mildly unpleasant ?

Oh we weren’t talking about the same circuit judge then

Unsettling interactions of shape and color in this photo, very well composed

Oh WAIT maybe a like-minded but not quite as much district court judge could be elevated … win win for those clients ….

I dare you to try to find someone worse (for this hypothetical unfortunate lawyer’s clients)

Oh no, you’re going to take someone who votes against many clients on three-judge panels and give them many fewer cases, dilute their vote, and put them in a seat that always votes against clients anyway? O no please not the briar patch

All our judges are the best. Sorry other circuits. Flawless.

HAVING SAID THAT, replacing a SCOTUS justice with a circuit judge who votes more or less like that Justice is likely to be a net WIN for people within that circuit who are disaligned with that judge/justice 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ok but in what sense did I “shift” income to the kid? Do they think the university would send that money to me if I weren’t “sheltering it” by having the university pay itself for his apartment and meal plan?

I was yesterday years old when I learned that the part of a scholarship that covers dorm and meal plan is taxed at the PARENTS’ marginal rate because …. I dunno 🤷🏻‍♂️ just mean

Me + my reputation
