Think what you will…

Hi and Welcome!

Well, it looks like this summer’s been one of the coolest on record, so far. I don’t want to jinx anything, though. If it’s this way until the end of the month, we’ve got a really good chance at a decent Fall. October’s always been my favorite month, anyway. Of course, the falling of the leaves plays merry hell with my allergies, but it’s all for a good cause so I don’t mind it that much.

As I’ve mentioned before the Mayor and Councilman Ernest Santos both have a conflict of interest when it comes to issues that involve the city attorney for whom both work for defacto (Mr. Flores is the 30+ year President of the Junior College Board) at Southwest Texas Junior College.
