Haiti Needs Your Help

By now we are all aware that the nation of Haiti was hit by a massive earthquake.

I know most of you are deeply touched by the massive destruction of life and property that has taken place. I urge you to please assist the people of Haiti at this very time of need.

How can you help:

1. Dine at the Carribean Taste Restaurant on 135 W. Nolana, across from the Wells Fargo Bank, Tel 683-7004 at a cost of $50 per person. The difference between the $50 and the cost of your meal will be donated to the Haiti Relief fund. The Restaurant is also receiving direct donations for Haiti. For more information, Please contact Sam Etiene on 956-821-8423.

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.
