LTL Weekly & This Weekend in Lake Travis: October 26-28, 2018

Written by Todd Hower | October 25, 2018

When you’re done with soggy …

This will be the start of a new weather pattern for Texas. Roughly a week of dry weather is likely, with some exceptions.

When you fail the test …

Work that through with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Austin’s water officially failed state standards. What began as a precautionary measure to boil your water is now required by state law.

When you have a lot of questions …

I’ve seen photos of long lines and empty shelves at H-E-B. Is the apocalypse coming? Should I prepare accordingly and flee to my safe house deep in the Hill Country? Who do I need to fight to get a bottle of water? Texas Monthly has ya’ covered.

When you turn the faucet on …

From the lakes to your tap. Here are the steps for water to go from the lakes to your faucet.

When long lines give you warm fuzzies …

People are voting. Yes, people! Yaassss.

When you represent less than 1% …

You’re smart. Thirty-seven Lake Travis High School seniors were recognized as qualifiers for the 2019 National Merit Scholarship Program. They were chosen from more than 1.5 million program entrants and represent less than 1 percent of each state’s high school seniors.

When you use the stamp of approval …

Not everyone agrees. A unanimous vote will allow developers of the Village at Spanish Oaks to move forward with their plans. Homestead neighborhood residents spoke out saying the development will bring more traffic to an already congested area and affect their quality of life.

When you handle pressure cookers for a living …

Football is in your blood. This former UT kicker is currently in the midst of his 20th NFL season, and his two sons are playing for the 8-0 Vandegrift Vipers.

If you can’t laugh, you just keep crying …

After a stressful week of flood coverage and loss, LTL’s Cathy Hale finds the lighter side of things with boil water hysteria, vampire lookie-loos, and smelly dam complaints.

When Christmas decorations are out in Texas …

It’s a Halloween weekend. Scroll down to see Halloween parties happening in the Lake Travis area.

LTL Weekly & This Weekend in Lake Travis: October 5-7, 2018

When you never get old …

Sunsets over Lake Travis. Thanks to Lake Travis resident and area newbie, Don Fowler, for this pretty sunset with a tropical twist. He entered our sunset photo contest, and you can enter too.

When after a series of highly non-scientific community polls …

You realize you’re not the only person craving this sort of place. Sloan + Parker is heading to Steiner Ranch in early November. The family-friendly bar will be taking over the former space of Kawa Asian Kitchen. Does anyone out there remember Fion?

When the kids will never forget it …

Memo to other top high school football programs: Do this. One of the nation’s top wide receivers was giving a spelling test to Lakeway Elementary students hours before Lake Travis demolished Austin High.

When your 100-year-old grandma went bowling …

This happened.

When you realize what you’re supposed to be doing …

Help others. A group of local 8th and 9th-grade students are training to run an obstacle race later this month to raise money for a retired Navy SEAL who’s now battling cancer. The group aims to raise $10,000 to support his treatment. You can contribute to the fundraiser here.

When you need mad ninja skills …

On Wednesday, LTL’s Cathy Hale introduced you to a local dojo with plenty of heart.
