General Disclaimer

When reading RGV Life, you are seriously in danger of getting bent out of shape. The intent of this blog is to share the experience of living in the Rio Grande Valley with people who do not live here. A secondary purpose is to give the author(s) a place to comment on or criticize local government and politicians. Failing miserably at both, RGV Life has a backup purpose: proving how stupid one CAN get. RGV Life proudly proclaims our success at the last goal.

Shaine Mata, that would be me, is totally unqualfied, according to critics, to form any opinion on any topic, ever. That is the level of consideration you should give the content contained herein. Shaine is moronic, offensive, sophomoric, ... adjectives fail me. Shaine has been known to be spectacularly wrong in order not to half-ass the effort. Shaine even goes so far as changing his mind when the facts require it. Reading my posts is like watching with fascination at something that just keeps getting worse.

The author assumes no responsibility for anything. This is a stupid blog amongst millions on the web. Nothing gets resolved here and nothing gets started here. RGV Life does one of the simplest things in the world. See things happen, write about it. No serious talent is required. There are guest bloggers added to RGV Life to give the blog some credibility. If you read their posts, you'll see their capacity to form intelligent, coherent arguments about their respective interests.

For your continued pleasure, I will keep interviewing people and making a fool of myself. You will still get the occasional picture of my activities. And the audio posts will still be available. By providing this general disclaimer, I absolve myself of having to ever say I'm sorry. You know what you're getting into. You have been warned.

Having said that, thanks for reading RGV Life. I hope I've provided you with some laughs. I know I've ticked some of you off. C'mon, you like it. I don't suspect these will change in the foreseeable future. Thanks for your tolerance (don't be a hater).

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.
