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.

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...

P.S. I read somewhere that you're responsible for her campaign. Where did you find her? We need more like her.
On the other hand, I am disturbed by other candidates who won the straw poll. I have my doubts about some candidates. And in the case of county judge, I feel like I am choosing the lesser of two evils. I'll be writing about it later.
Hope you don't mind a plug for my own forum shaine.

I like the boots and skirt. Looks like she's trying to revive Jedi fashion!
The rest is incoherent, so I won't even begin trying to figure out what you wrote.
Shaine, where the hell do you get this? The Bar Association NEVER votes like the voters do! They only see who'll be more acceptable to their ways.
I don't support this woman because she has taken it for granted that she'll just win this position outright. First of all, she's hasn't managed to hold a job for more than a couple of years, and then proudly proclaims, "I've made a difference" in her commercial. What kind of attitude is that? It takes more than volunteering for a few organizations to make a difference. Someone as arrogant as her has no business in politics.
And no, Billy and Ramon did not put Omar up. He's hired his own PR company for re-election.
You're starting to sound like a couple of other idiots that run political blogs in that they only do so to promote their candidates.
You're better than that, Shaine!
This is good to know, because I don't agree with some of the people they picked.
Back to Laura, you seem to think that volunteering is a worthless endeavor. Let me point out that volunteering as President of the B & G Club is more than just window dressing, it carries work and responsibilities. Ditto for being a committee member to some of the other organizations. This lady goes out and gets things done for the committees in which she works. She doesn't just wait around to be told what to do. Furthermore, she works really well with others and can carry out projects, two things that will be important in improving the District Clerk's office. And, I agree, she hasn't let up on the campaign. She's still at it from morning to night because she doesn't take it for granted that she'll win. The campaign is in overdrive as we speak. She just makes it look easy.
And you're telling me what to think again. I haven't told anybody to vote for her, I merely write about my experience. You still have a choice like all my readers. A little respect, please.
