Once Upon a Time in Texas: A Liberal in the Lone Star StateOnce upon a time in Texas . . . there were liberal activists of various stripes who sought to make the state more tolerant and more tolerable. David Richards was one of them. In this fast paced, often humorous memoir, he remembers the players, the strategy sessions, the legal and political battles, and the wins and losses that brought significant gains in civil rights, voter rights, labor law, and civil liberties to the people of Texas from the 1950s

Once upon a time in Texas . . . there were liberal activists of various stripes who sought to make the state more tolerant and more tolerable. David Richards was one of them. In this fast-paced, often humorous memoir, he remembers the players, the strategy sessions, the legal and political battles, and the wins and losses that brought significant gains in civil rights, voter rights, labor law, and civil liberties to the people of Texas from the 1950s to the 1990s. In his work as a lawyer, Richards was involved in cases covering voters' rights (the creation of single-member districts to address the historic exclusion of minority voters), school finance reform (to address inequities in school funding), and a myriad of civil liberties and free speech cases. In telling these stories, he vividly evokes the "glory days" of Austin liberalism, when a "who's who" of Texas activists plotted strategy at watering holes such as Scholz Garden and the Armadillo World Headquarters or on raft trips down the Rio Grande and Guadalupe Rivers. Likewise, he offers vivid portraits of liberal politicians from Ralph Yarborough to Ann Richards (his former wife), progressive journalists such as Molly Ivins and the Texas Observer staff, and the hippies, hellraisers, and musicians who all challenged Texas's conservative status quo. Everyone fascinated by Texas politics and liberal activism in the last half of the twentieth century will enjoy this book. Written with flair and an insider's insights, it records "a sweeter time when a free-associating bunch of ragtag Texans took on the establishment at a variety of junctures," as Richards put it.

Amazing deal on everything you need to keep your Omni C20 going for years
First and foremost, when I opened the package all the side brushes were all bent up crazy and all over the place (appearing to be ruined) but there was a little business card tucked away in the bag (I included a picture) that tells you to put them into 80 degree Celsius water (which is 176 degrees Fahrenheit BTW) and that they would straight and I have to admit I was skeptical... until about 5 minutes ago. WOW - I mean WOW - they straightened right up like it was poetry in motion, very cool to see it work - in my case I dipped the ends in individually 1 by 1 with all 6 of them and they're good to go now. Tested the pads for size and fit as well as the rollers, filters and bags the other day and they were all perfect matches as well. They also packed it extremely efficiently in a nice bag which is very reusable for long term storage. Also included is a detangle cutter if you have people with long hair in the house - and a brush for filter and roller cleaning if needed. It's such an incredible set that LITERALLY every single Omni C20 should buy. It's a no brainer.

Replacement Kit for Eufy C20 Omni
I got this 28-piece accessory kit for my robot vacuum, and it is a great value for the price. It contains everything you need for several rounds of maintenance, including main brushes, filters, side brushes, mop pads, and dust bags. It even comes with a small cleaning tool and a screwdriver to help with the installation. Everything in the pack fits the C20 Omni perfectly and works just as well as the original parts. The mop pads are absorbent and easy to wash in the machine, and the brushes do a good job of picking up dust and hair. It’s much cheaper than buying brand-name replacements and makes it easy to keep the robot running at peak performance. Overall, it is a functional and complete product that does exactly what it is supposed to do. It is a simple and cost-effective way to stock up on all the replacement parts you'll need for several months.

Excellent fit and value - recommended buy
Size: 3+12+12+2+1 pack
I rarely write reviews, but I'm so impressed by the fit and quality of this set that I made an exception. I'd been running my eufy 11S without brushes, and have been cleaning and reusing the filters for a while now and finally decided to buy replacements. The kit came packed well with everything in order and no damage. I replaced all of the worn parts and installed the brushes and did a test run - everything worked great. I expected some fitment issues because I've seen that with other kits, but I had no issues. The fact that you get multiples of almost everything is icing on the cake. Oh, and I wasn't paid or given anything in exchange for this review, as much as that's worth now, haha. I can recommend getting this kit for your robot vacuum, if it's the right set for your model.

Good option for an aftermarket replacement solution.
Size: 3+12+12+2+1 pack
I've been very happy with this product. I think it is a good price point for what is included. Everything was a directly compatible and everything fit as you would expect. The filter quality is good and since there are plenty in the kit I find I change the filters more often which is probably a good thing. I recommed.

Eufy Brushes wear out with daily use
Size: 4 Pack
These brushes help the Eufy continue to run efficiently. I have 2 dogs and run 2 Eufies daily. It is surprising how much sand, dust, gravel and hair gets vacuumed. My furniture isn't as dusty and my floor doesn't need mopping as often.
