It's National Tattoo Removal Day—a special shoutout to all the tattoo artists who've perfected the art of "I told you so" in ink! Here's to those 2 AM decisions that looked cool then but not so much at your job interview.
Alien Alert! An object traveling 135,000 mph is heading straight for Earth, arriving in about 115 days. A Harvard professor thinks it *might* be an alien spacecraft. NASA says it'll pass at a "safe" distance—but safe according to who? That's just enough time to finish Christmas shopping... or build a bunker.
Corpus Christi Making Headlines: Travel + Leisure Magazine just named Corpus Christi "America's next great beach destination," praising our natural wonders, top-tier food scene, and historic sites. This is a sharp contrast to FinanceBuzz calling us the third-most boring city—apparently, we're either the most exciting boring place or the most boring exciting place!
Local Water News: City Council unanimously approved spending up to $169 million for water rights from the Evangeline Groundwater Project in San Patricio County. This could deliver 24 million gallons per day from brackish groundwater—because in South Texas, water is getting to where it is worth more than oil.
Nostalgia Corner: Texas Monthly reminds us that Corpus Christi was THE windsurfing destination in the '80s and '90s. The U.S. Open Windsurfing Regatta at Cole Park drew world champions and TV coverage, but by the late '90s, the sport collapsed—too expensive, too technical, and too hard for beginners. Now a few dedicated locals keep the dream alive while kitesurfing rules the bay.
Country Music Updates: Sad news from Bakersfield—Buck Owens' Crystal Palace, the legendary honky-tonk that's been a country music pilgrimage site for nearly 30 years, will soon close its doors. Meanwhile, Luke Bryan is proving Friday nights aren't just for concerts—they're for family, as he prioritizes his son Bo's high school football games over everything else.
