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.
Special Programming:
Friday: Stand Up To Cancer special featuring Dolly Parton, Sheryl Crow, Jon Pardi, Jelly Roll, and Dan + Shay
Sunday 7pm: Band Together Texas concert live from Austin with Miranda Lambert, Parker McCollum, Cody Johnson, Ronnie Dunn, Lyle Lovett, and more
Win Big: Your shot at iHeartRadio Music Festival tickets with Tim McGraw and Jelly Roll, plus $1000 at 9am, 1pm, and 5pm!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
