What a waste of money.

This is just greenwashing the original plan to add another natural gas power plant. What a scam. “Oh it could eventually run on hydrogen too. In five years. Maybe?”

The Celtic Festival was Nov 2-3. It is still low key and a lot of fun although I liked it better at Fiesta Gardens. Ticketing was a little bit of a pain with the silly SI app.

Good bands, Irish dancing, the games, lots of good food. Beer was crazy crazy expensive, something like $20 a pint at the pour it yourself trailers. This was sad as I remember just taking a 20 and having 3 or four glasses out of that not counting tips. The whiskey tasting was fairly engaging.

Excellent bands, the venue is nice, and all in all my main conplaint is the beer price. Because that was insane.

This project is such a waste of money.

Or shade.

I am also reminded of how CapMetro spent money to rip out the perfectly fine existing shelters and benches to replace them with the newer, flimsier ones.
