Round Rock Daily: What You Need To Know Today (Thu, Apr 28)

Hello again, Round Rock! Important update: You all, as readers, have made the Round Rock Daily so successful that it is my honor to announce the next stage of the newsletter. Patch is looking for a local writer and entrepreneur to take the helm of the Round Rock Daily. Although I have loved getting to know this community, we want to pass the torch to someone truly local to write about Round Rock long term. So if you’re interested in earning extra income while making this newsletter a more valuable resource for your neighbors, learn more and apply here.

First, today's weather:

Breezy and more humid. High: 83 Low: 68.

About me: The original Pirate Queen and QA engineer for Patch. Did you know that this week I have worked at least two fourteen hour days? This sprint has been nuts and the engineering team has been keeping me hopping non-stop. I'm exhausted and very close to needing a vacation.
