May 30, 2014

Greetings on this the eve of the last day in May. June 1 and hurricane season are just a couple of days away. So are 90 degree days. How far away are 100 degree days?  Welcome to summertime in Texas. Obviously, no one in the family has read my comparison of Austin and B/CS. I suspect that had they done so, there might have been a comment regarding their placement second to the Texas Aggies.  Well, first of all, it was a close second. And second, the Aggies are like family. I forgot to mention that the top news story over the weekend was the closing of Fuego Tortilla Grill in College Station. It seems this is a hot, late night, after hours, early morning, after the bars, breakfast taco kind of place to go. It voluntarily closed to due to an outbreak of salmonella. I hate it when those little salmonella break out of their little cages and take up residence in your intestinal tract.  The next day the top story was how the place was cleaned top to bottom, not once, but twice.  The second cleaning was done by an outside company. By day three, the place was back open and the parking lot filled with eager customers.  It seems eggs were the source of the outbreak. Coming in a distant second in the news was a police shooting of an elderly woman in Hernia, two robberies, a pervy, Perry appointee dentist who took pictures of his female assistants changing clothes and an assault in Caldwell.  Now that is just KBTX in Bryan. I also get the news from Waco-Temple. Talk about being along a cultural corridor. I have not heard the terms “legislature,” “bicycles” or “downtown closings due to festival” in over a month. Such is life in the Brazos Valley.  Go Spurs.
