Starting a New Site

I am starting a new site for Rio Grande Valley politics at Spin RGV. I haven't fully customized it pending input from members. I don't want to be king of the site like some other sites that popped up where they restrict your participation. Where's the fun in that? The site will allow you to remain anonymous, just don't publish your personal info.

All members have the ability to write articles that will come out on the front page (subject to approval, of course). There are also forums wide open for all topics. Cool, responsible members can gain privileges like being a moderator and the ability to approve articles.

Feel free to join and kick the tires a little bit. If you want to start posting, dale gas. Just give me time to customize it some more. I barely activated the site today. I had the idea a while back, but wasn't sure about making it. Tell me how you like it.

I'm still going to run RGV Life, it'll just be less about politics.

Sure. You don't have to move them. Just start writing. I can change your member account so that you can approve posts, if you don't mind being an "editor".

Like I said, I don't want to be king of the site, I'd rather share the responsibility.

Fall 2024 in the RGV

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

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.
