Highest Priced Texas High Schools Cost Way More Than Colleges
The cost of a college education has been going up significantly Texas and across the country while many are starting to argue the value of the degree has been going down. Now, imagine attending a high school that costs more in a single year than dozens of colleges and universities in the Lone Star State cost in 4, 5, or maybe as many as 20 years for those really super duper seniors that are stuck being a cross between being Peter Pan and Van Wilder.
Everything Costs: Would Texans Tolerate Bag Or To-Go Container Fees?
A TikTok video recently went viral of a woman complaining about a 10-cent bag fee on her Chic-fil-A order. She was outraged and threatened Chic-fil-a: "Count your days." However, it wasn't Chic-fil-a's fault she got the bag upcharge, it's local law in her town. It went into effect this past January but I suppose this is the first time she noticed.

Are These Really The Best Schools In El Paso?
El Paso school districts recently graded themselves. According to them, minus the biggest one, here are the best schools in El Paso. I'm already skeptical because of the fact that the school districts in El Paso all graded themselves. There's something weird about the entity judged "best" also being the entity that did the judging. (I know every test I ever took ... that I also graded ... got an A+.)

The Worst Beer In The World Is Sold All Across Texas
I like beer, like many Texans do. I don't drink it as much as I used to, but I still enjoy a pint from time to time. What's my favorite beer? To be honest, I don't have one. I do enjoy some brews from local Tyler, Texas spots -- Mermaids and Unicorns from True Vine; and Blind Ambition is really good at ETX Brewing.
WATCH: Granny Warns Texas Drivers About Scammy Panhandler
Do you give money to panhandlers when you're waiting in traffic?. I do sometimes, especially when temperatures are extreme. I can't help it. If they are stretching the truth a little about their homelessness, or just begging for some beer money, I figure baking in the sun or freezing in the snow has to be worth a little something.

Study Finds That Many Texans Have Gross Cars
Looks like quite a few Texas car owners need to clean their rides. I’ll go ahead and confess to not deep-cleaning my pickup as regularly as I should. Clutter drives me nuts, so I always keep it neat. But I would be lying if I said I deep-cleaned it on a regular basis.
