Hello, Shaine,

Well, your big adventure is about to begin, and I mean that in a positive sense. I look forward to reading how your perspectives change as the session goes on, when your legislation advances, and when your legislation is killed. No one gets everything they want, so don't get dismayed when some measures don't get too far. You will have other victories to make up those disappointments.

Of particular interest down here, I believe, is what the Mexican American Legislative Caucus does this session. Perhaps you and Aaron can place links to their websites. Many people don't even know that such an important alliance exists.

Perhaps you can report, from your persectives, on the meetings of the MALC. No one else in the Capitol press corps seems to care at all about that organization (don't take my word, see if you can find more than a handful of news stories about them). You will do a lot of your constituents a favor by illuminating the existence of this group.

Sorry you had to rough it at an RV park, but good for you that you are about to get settled into an apartment. Remember my advice: Whenever constituents come to visit you in Austin, take all of them to the swanky receptions that will fill the Capitol calendars for the first 90 days. You don't have to promise anything to the (usually rich) groups that sponsor those receptions, and your constituents will love you for a great time at no cost.

Thanks for sending me your e-mails.

2024 NaPodPoMo Ep 5 - Let’s Be Real About CRO

In this episode of National Podcast Post Month, I'm taking a closer look at the recent announcements from Crypto.com and their potential impact on the price of CRO. While there's been a lot of excitement about the new developments, I'm not convinced that they will translate into a significant price increase. I'll be discussing the following topics: The recent AMA with Kris Marszalek The launch of the ZK EVM chain The popularity of the Crypto.com debit card The importance of market volatility The role of FOMO in driving up prices I'll also be sharing my thoughts on why I don't think the price of CRO will jump to a dollar anytime soon. If you're interested in learning more about the future of CRO, then be sure to watch this video!

2024 NaPodPoMo Ep 3 - Gen X Remembering Wind of Change

  Wind of Change by The Scorpions was an iconic song that marked the end of an era of glasnost and perestroika. For Gen X, it was a time of hope and optimism. At least it was for me. I discuss what I remember about the significance of that time.  Brief musical play is fair use.
