Cruel Joke
Yesterday, I was at my nephew’s. He had power and internet. About 1 pm, I received a text and email from CenterPoint letting me know that power was restored to my place. I came home about an hour later with no power. I asked a couple of my neighbors if they had received the CenterPoint…

Sorry for the delay. I am still without power. CenterPoint sent me this last night: This afternoon (Monda) CenterPoint Energy mobilized its internal and mutual assistance crews to begin the restoration process to the total 2.265 million customers that lost power during Hurricane Beryl today. Based on current progress with damage assessment and initial restoration,…

My power is out – again. That’s about a half dozen times over the past 90 days. This is getting ridiculous. Commentary is talking about losing power after a hurricane or storm hits.

Commentary has to give H-Town Mayor John Whitmire a bit of credit for getting the City of H-Town Solid Waste Management Department off its arse. I put out some heavy trash a couple of weeks ago and it was picked up on a timely basis. Recycling is pretty much picked up on schedule these days.…

I have helped run winning statewide Democratic campaigns in Texas. I have helped run winning campaigns in H-Town. I always vote. I read the newspaper…

Hello July. We got the Fourth of July this Thursday. The MLB All-Star Game break in a couple of weeks. And Hurricane Beryl on the move, err barreling. _____ Up until recently, Kirk Bohls was a journalist covering sports for 51 years for the Austin American Statesman. Recently, I read that he had retired. I…

This is from the Daily Beast today: President Joe Biden’s dire debate performance didn’t just worry Democrat lawmakers. Some of his aides were so concerned by what they saw that they made sure to get their LinkedIn pages updated Thursday night “just in case,” according to Politico. The president’s error-prone and occasionally incoherent showing against Donald Trump on the debate stage set off…

If the H-Town area political community had their own Olympics, Lina hating would certainly be a prime-time competition. Commentary is talking about all the folks in the H-Town area who love to hate on Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo. Let me remind folks, err the haters, that she has kicked your arses at the polls,…
