Prayers aloft for the Texas Guard! Protect them, Lord Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Take comfort in the fact this incident is evidence Fairfield embraces the conservative principles of keeping taxes low; and making city departments as close to self-supporting as possible.
Actually, if they only wrote you up for $80, they were being friendly.
Amen
GOD BLESS TEXAS!!!
