It will happen soon. Commentary is talking about TEA naming a new HISD superintendent and Board of Managers. It is supposed to happen tomorrow. The current superintendent has a farewell Op-Ed in today’s Chron. That is the featured photo today. Let’s get it done so we can take back our HISD. Meanwhile, a headline from…

It is 2023, and the Texas state government has biennial legislative sessions that last 140 days.  That is why we are in a special session this morning, the day after the 140th day. This is ridiculous.  Texas has outgrown its antiquated state constitution dealing with legislative sessions.  At this point, all one can do is…

State Rep. Harold Dutton voted present-not-voting (PNV) on the impeachment articles on Saturday. Afterwards, he tweeted this: Democrats should have left this to Republicans. It would have been 60 for and 23 against. Paxton would have stayed and been on the election ballot. Then Democrats would have had a better climate to elect a statewide…

How many times have you gone to get your vehicle inspected and you are told you need a new something.  Those days may be over. Oh, well. Not really. When you get an oil change, they always hit you up for something. _____ Commentary is always wanting to learn something. This morning I learned something…

It is not official yet. Commentary is talking about my water bill. According to the automated water division communication I had on Saturday, they are planning on sticking it to me. It will be official when I get a hard copy bill and letter. Here is the deal. Let’s say my water meter has been…

Think about this. Some racist folks are upset that an African American is playing the role of a mermaid in the live action Disney The Little Mermaid flick.  Last I checked, mermaids don’t even exist. They are a product of folklore. They don’t turn up in the nets of fishing trawlers. They are not in…

Commentary is a homeowner in the City of H-Town. That means I pay city property taxes.  I also pay sales tax and a small part of this sales tax also goes to the city. I should not have to go out on a regular basis to see if my water meter is working.  Here is…
