Campaign Post

I have not had a chance to go to the Laura Hinojosa Campaign HQ this week. I wanted to go to the meet and greet on Friday night at España, but could not find somebody to watch the kids and still had to work. I called in to find out what's going on. One of the Michaels was busy making signs. I'll be going in to make signs tomorrow.

I hear that this Saturday one of our block walkers filed a police report against another in San Juan. It was reported that somebody from Robert Mendoza's camp came up to the block walker and snatched away some push cards. I'll try to get details later.

In other news, the politiqueras are already making their rounds asking for money. Of course, Laura wants nothing to do with them. She was against the practice before Juan Maldonado came out against them this week. By chance, we were talking about politiqueras last week. It appears that if you don't play ball with them, they hold a grudge against you.

It just occurred to me that if you are big into the Texas Longhorns, winners of this year's Rose Bowl, and you also like politics, you should order one of Laura's beautiful burnt orange colored lawn signs for your yard. You can pick one up at 120 N 17th St in McAllen. They have nothing to do with UT, but they will match all your other UT colored lawn decorations. ;-)

Cleaning Mold and Mildew From Your Window Air Conditioner

By
I don't think cleaning mold and mildew from your window air conditioner is a problem specific to the Rio Grande Valley. After all, there are plenty of other places with high temperatures and high humidity. However, given that there are so many of us who rely on window units to cool our homes, allow me to share some experience in cleaning these things out. Why I'm Cleaning My Own A/C Obviously, our window units grew some black stuff on the blower and its enclosure. This generated allergies in my little one, who is sensitive to such things. Not having my own laboratory, I couldn't tell you if it is mold or mildew. It matters not. What I've Tried Other than replacing the window unit every couple months, I've tried washing the unit with Clorox products. I figure bleach kills everything; but, I guess it doesn't. We still had to use cotton swabs to wipe and scrub surfaces on the blower and enclosure, which is almost impossible on some models. You can't d...

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.
