On Friday's show: We examine the wave of massive data centers expanding across Texas, prompting warnings from experts who say the new water demands could push the state’s already strained supply to the brink.
Also this hour: We get a new perspective on local democracy by talking with self-described "local government enthusiast" Emily Hynds about observing every Houston City Council meeting for the last five years and sharing what she sees through her blog, Emily Takes Notes.
Then, from Camp Mystic planning to reopen partially, to a statue of President Trump holding hands with Jeffrey Epstein briefly showing up on the National Mall, our non-experts break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.
And we recall how an underdog team of Major League prospects -- including some future Astros stars -- managed to pull off an upset and won the gold medal in baseball at the 2000 Olympics. We talk with Houstonian Dave Fanucchi, author of a book about that story, Miracle on Grass.
