In case you still weren’t convinced, Austin, TX has been named the best place to live in America for the third year in a row by U.S. News and World Report.
The publication ranked the 125 largest metropolitan areas and found what you might already know to be true -- life’s good in Austin, Texas.
The city has maintained its No. 1 spot on the list since it knocked Denver into second place in 2017.
U.S. News and World Report considered five main indexes (and graded them on a 10-point scale) in compiling the list: desirability, value, job market, quality of life and net migration. Unsurprisingly, Austin ranked a high 9 for desirability and net migration, but a lower 6.7 on value, which measures affordability and incomes.

Today is Wednesday, April 10, the 100th day of 2019. There are 265 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On April 10, 1865, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, a day after surrendering the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House, said farewell to his men, praising them for their "unsurpassed courage and fortitude."
On this date:
In 1866, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was incorporated.
In 1912, the British liner RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton, England, on its ill-fated maiden voyage.
In 1916, the Professional Golfers' Association of America was founded in New York.
In 1925, the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel "The Great Gatsby" was first published by Scribner's of New York.
In 1932, German President Paul Von Hindenburg was re-elected in a runoff, with Adolf Hitler coming in second.
In 1947, Brooklyn Dodgers President Branch Rickey purchased the contract of Jackie Robinson from the Montreal Royals.
In 1962, Stuart Sutcliffe, the Beatles' original bass player, died in Hamburg, West Germany, at age 21.
In 1968, "In the Heat of the Night" won best picture of 1967 at the 40th Academy Awards; one of its stars, Rod Steiger, was named best actor while Katharine Hepburn was honored as best actress for "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner."
In 1971, a table tennis team from the United States arrived in China at the invitation of the communist government for a goodwill visit that came to be known as "ping-pong diplomacy."
In 1981, imprisoned IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands was declared the winner of a by-election to the British Parliament.
In 1998, the Northern Ireland peace talks concluded as negotiators reached a landmark settlement to end 30 years of bitter rivalries and bloody attacks.
In 2010, Polish President Lech Kaczynski (lehk kah-CHIN'-skee), 60, was killed in a plane crash in western Russia that also claimed the lives of his wife and top Polish political, military and church officials.

It got an 11 for that.

Ten years ago: Police in Tracy, California, arrested Sunday school teacher Melissa Huckaby in connection with the death of 8-year-old Sandra Cantu, whose body had been found in a suitcase. (Huckaby eventually pleaded guilty to kidnapping and murdering her daughter's playmate; she was sentenced to life without parole.) French Navy commandos stormed a sailboat held by pirates off the Somali coast, freeing four hostages; however, one hostage was killed in the operation.
Five years ago: A bus carrying 44 students from Southern California for a free tour of Humboldt State University on the state's far north coast collided with a FedEx tractor-trailer near Orland; five students and three adult chaperones died, along with the drivers. A woman was taken into custody after throwing a shoe at Hillary Clinton as the former secretary of state began a Las Vegas convention keynote speech; the shoe missed. KISS, Nirvana and Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band were ushered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. CBS named Stephen Colbert to succeed the retiring David Letterman as host of the "Late Show."
One year ago: During five hours of questioning from a U.S. Senate panel, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg batted away accusations that he had failed to protect the personal information of millions of Americans from Russians intent on upsetting the U.S. election, though he conceded that Facebook needed to work harder to make sure the tools it creates are used in "good and healthy" ways. The international chemical weapons watchdog said it was sending a fact-finding mission to a Syrian town where a suspected chemical gas attack had taken place over the weekend.

Now this is traveling, and living the dream of many. A recently retired couple who sold everything they own and bought this catamaran sailboat to sail around the world and do good deeds for people on their trip. They lived on the waterway about 21 miles north of me, man is an attorney and lady was a game warden.
They departed their dock this morning and passed here about 11:30. Traveling the waterway to Charleston for a few days to visit friends then hoisting the sails on the open ocean to the Bahamas. The entire around the world trip is planned to take 3 years.
Honestly I am a bit jealous but it takes a lot of balls to attempt an around the world sailing trip in a 38 foot boat, but it does have twin Diesel engines if the wind stops blowing.

This is quite a sight, a low budget tugboat towing about 500’ of dredge pipe. He might be going 3 mph.

Nope, that was just serendipity. Just gathering myself together for tomorrow’s next surgery. Thumb’s this time. Fuse the bones together then tie that to a wrist bone. Starting with the left one. Kinda like the shoulder replacement just no joint left. Orthopedist says it’s genetic. Me, I go with too much wear and of my skinny ol’ frame. Fifty plus years of living at one keyboard or another probably didn’t help.
