I may have to go to Chicago for some training next month. Not looking forward to it. I have a friend there that I may try and surprise...

I had a run in with one of Austin's finest when I was still living in Well's Branch. Not a happy camper. He was a jerk even though I tried to be as cordial as getting pulled over for "speeding", and ignoring his attempts at fishing, as I could be. "Yes sir. No sir. None of your business sir."

Actually, I try my very best to NEVER go into Austin—but it’s getting harder and harder as the increase of population blurs the city lines.

11 short years ago, we moved to a town of about 3.000 people. The population is now more than 4 times that AND WE HAVE NO WATER! I find it incredible that the town fathers’ are allowing new buildings, shopping centers, a hospital, highrises and duplexes with zero lot lines as far as the eye can see.

Of course it goes without saying—our city government is likes all branches of government—they want the taxes all this building brings in.............
