When I go for runs in my neighborhood in Texas (liberal big city though), I always pass this house with a giant american flag waving and instead of some Brinks or ADT sign, there's a sign with a picture of a burgler with a target on his chest that says "Trust me, there's nothing here worth dying for".

So big salute to you, fellow based Austin suburbs guy if you happen to browse TD.Win.

I would love to hear my GPS pronounce your town's name.

It helps the pronunciation if you hock a big loogie right before you say it.

I'd put an invitation flyer in that man's mailbox. He needs to join us, stat!

You have to mail it with the USPS. It's a federal crime to just put a flyer in someone's mailbox, I'm pretty sure.

Yeah it is, but you can drop it off somewhere a solicitor usually wouldn't to get their attention.

When I was canvassing for a candidate, (now State Senator, you're welcome) I thought this idea up over the many hours and miles of walking.

You might need to get a bit clever but a novel flyer location, NOT the mailbox, would be, IMO, a good door-to-door technique for getting your flyers looked-at by more eyeballs.

No, I don't mean rolled up under the door knob, I said novel. Put it under the Gnome's arm, fold it into a paper hat/airplane/whatever. People love that shit.

If I really wanted to get someone to visit the site, I'd just write "https://thedonald.win" and then Trump2020 on a post-it note and stick it to their front door/car window/whatever is most visible that they'll readily see. That'd be more than enough to get me to check it out.

Generally whenever someone sees that another has taken their time to hand-write a note to them specifically, their "marketing defense" will go down and they will be far more likely to actually read and consider whatever it is you want them to consider. Hell, I know I do.

Put it in the door. I don't believe you can legally put anything other than US mail in the mailbox.

I don't know how anyone is even going to enforce that rule. Some people have gates so you can't even make it to the front door unless you trespass, so the mailbox is the only way you can leave them any written notes.

Tape the note to the gate, duh.

Not in the suburbs, but glad to see I'm not alone here in Austin.

How's Lake Travis doing? Last time I was at the Oasis, you could see an island at the bottom, the water level was so low. And what ever happened to Aqua Fest?

Lake Travis is actually doing alright. We're at 672 feet, which is 8.16 feet below "full". If you were here during the 2011-2015 dought, you probably saw it around 618 or so. It was definitely disheartening. But we're doing much better now.

Water is still low. It seems to be the norm unfortunately, or it has been since I've moved here. This is the first time I've ever heard of Aqua Fest. It seems that this was an old school tradition that Austin dropped. Looks like they're using other things to lure people over here now.
