Campaign Post

By
Today, after work, I went over to the Laura Hinojosa's campaign HQ. I broke out my official campaign T-shirt today. Our job today was to go out and put up 4 x 8 signs in McAllen. Laura knocked on doors and asked permission for us to put up signs. Another volunteer, Michael, and I nailed those babies up on people's fences. We put up a few up through 6th St.

It was interesting to watch Laura ask for permission. Some people were suprised and impressed that she would ask for permission personally. At one point, she came across some family friends who offered us two locations for the signs. There are some locations where we would like to put up signs, but nobody was home. We'll revisit those later. Afterwards, we went back to the office and I got to chat a little with Sally and Michael about working on campaigns. I realize that campaigning and the politics after the election are probably very different creatures. For now, at least I'm doing something. I'll be back tomorrow afternoon to put up more signs.

To help make things easier for us, if you have a good, high traffic spot that you would like to volunteer for a sign, call the Laura Hinjosa Campaign Headquarters at 213-1012. We have both 4 x 8 signs and lawn signs. It would really help us win the Hidalgo County District Clerk's office. Everybody here would really appreciate it.

Fall 2024 in the RGV

By
It's that time of year again when Winter Texans start to make their way south from the northern states. I have already had phone calls with a Winter Texan client who is getting ready to come down. I think it is fascinating that we can make friends from people who are visiting only seasonally.  Looking at the blog stats, I seem to get a peak in traffic every year. So I suppose it must be partly due to many of our friends coming back from up north.  Image generated by Gemini 1.5 Pro AI Speaking of seasons, we still have a couple of months to go before the end of hurricane season for 2024. We have been fortunate this year, compared to other parts of the USA. Although, south Texas could use the rain.  This time of year makes me happy as we finally have nights that are below 78F like we had all summer. This week we have had mornings in the 60s. While we still have hot days in the 90s, we at least get some respite in the evenings, leading to cool mornings.  Returning to RG...

The Mad Mexican

By
Years ago, there used to be a DJ at B104, a local radio station. Until recent years, B104 had a large audience. They played pop music. The Mad Mexican used to do the morning show with Gary Rodriguez, who is now involved in McAllen politics. Well, the Mad Mexican is still working, but on a national level. I heard him this morning on Aguila, XM 92. Aguila is the Mexican music station on XM Satellite Radio. It's great to hear from him again. He's still pretty wild. Gary Rodriguez? He worked for 107.9 for a while before going to KURV and then entering politics.
