📺 Good Morning & Happy Wednesday!
Good morning! Today we're taking a little trip through TV and movie history.
On September 23, 1962, The Jetsons premiered, introducing viewers to George, Jane, Judy and Elroy—and a futuristic world filled with flying cars, robot maids and all sorts of gadgets that seemed pretty far-fetched at the time. More than 60 years later, a few of those ideas don't seem quite so futuristic anymore! 🤖
Then, on this date in 1969, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid premiered, bringing Paul Newman and Robert Redford together in a movie that would become a Hollywood classic. 🎬
From flying cars to the Wild West, September 23rd gave us a couple of memorable trips through entertainment history.
Now grab your coffee, settle in, and let's see what's happening a little closer to home. Have a wonderful Wednesday! 💙

Water Alone Won't Hydrate You This Fall
Cooler air, indoor heating, and shorter days can leave you dehydrated even when you're drinking plenty of water. That's because true hydration depends on electrolytes, not just water.
Pique's Deep Hydration Protocol pairs two formulas for round-the-clock hydration. B·T Fountain is a beauty electrolyte with clinically studied ceramides and hyaluronic acid, taken each morning for cellular hydration and steady energy. R·E Fountain follows at night — a calming magnesium blend built on Pique's proprietary Triple Biomaxed™ Magnesium for restful sleep.
Customers on this protocol report falling asleep faster, waking up without that groggy, dehydrated feeling, and noticing healthier-looking skin. This protocol sells out every fall — once it's gone, it's gone until next year.
Get 20% off for life right now, backed by Pique's 90-day guarantee. Shop the Deep Hydration Protocol before it sells out.

Major Barbours Cut Expansion
Proposed in La Porte
Port Houston is moving forward with planning for a major expansion of the Barbours Cut container terminal area in La Porte, with the proposed project now entering the regulatory review process.
Plans call for a new 318-acre marine container terminal with approximately 3,200 feet of new wharf and two berthing areas capable of handling some of today's largest container ships. The project would also expand the existing Barbours Cut Turning Basin and include new terminal access roads and nearby road improvements.
Port Houston says its existing container terminals are expected to reach maximum capacity by 2033, and the proposed expansion would provide additional room to handle future cargo growth.
If the project moves forward, construction would be completed in phases, with work expected to begin no later than 2032 and new terminal capacity potentially available by 2036.
The project is still in the review and planning stages, and final investment decisions have not been made. A public comment period associated with the regulatory review is currently underway through October 18th.

Study Looks at Potential Battery
Storage Benefits in La Porte
A new national study on large-scale battery storage includes an interesting example involving La Porte.
Energy research organization RMI estimates Harris County could avoid about $3.8 million annually in health-related costs if a 240-megawatt gas-fired “peaker” power plant in La Porte were replaced by battery storage. Peaker plants are generally used when electricity demand is especially high.
The estimate was developed using an EPA modeling tool that examines potential health impacts associated with air pollution.
There is no announced plan in the report to replace the La Porte plant. Rather, researchers used it as an example to estimate the potential effects of replacing gas-fired peak generation with battery storage.
The study also found that battery storage is playing an increasing role in Texas, supplying 6% to 9% of electricity during ERCOT's most grid-stressed hours in 2025.
