The Augustino test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Texas's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Augustino climbed just as high around 1918, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Augustino's path sketches the road Texas is walking now.
Texas sits in the calm middle of the cycle — neither chasing a wave nor sliding off one. Middle-of-the-cycle names age slowly and predictably.
