Can we all agree today is absolutely gorgeous? I took advantage of it with an early walk at Buffalo Bayou, fully appreciating nature... until TikTok decided my algorithm needed nothing but videos of snakes camouflaged in grass. So if you see me power walking on the sidewalk instead of the trails for the foreseeable future, mind your business. 😭

Now for a Houston legend I do want to run into. We're giving away tickets to Bun B Presents Been Ridin' Dirty, a one-night celebration honoring the 30th anniversary of UGK's Ridin' Dirty with an incredible lineup of Houston rap royalty. Don't miss your last chance to win.
