Equal Treatment?
The the editor: Was it ironic or perfect timing that I read in the Fayette County Record on Good Friday the title of a letter “Apply the Law Equally?” To every Christian, Good Friday is the anniversary of the Biblical account of the arrest, torture and abuse of Jesus – a perfect example of the opposite of applying the law equally. Has there ever been throughout human history equal application of human law? I wonder what our country would look like if those who made law equally applied it.
Spay or Neuter Is The Only Solution
Animal shelters and welfare organizations all over the country are in crisis, including your very own community shelter. We are taking more animals in and caring for them longer. In the first quarter of 2024 we have taken in 59 puppies and 50 kittens under the age of three months. I like to think because we’re a smaller community that some of the big world problems don’t affect us, but this one does.
Solar Eclipse Means Big Money To Texas
One economist is calling it “the most profitable 22 minutes in Texas history,” according to the Texas Standard. The total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8 is expected to draw up to a million visitors to the Lone Star State, especially in its narrow path of totality.
Texas cities located in that path include Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Waco, Temple, Killeen, Llano, Fredericksburg, Kerrville, Uvalde, Del Rio and Texarkana. (That is not a complete list. Check online to see if your community is in the totality path.)
Remember When?
April 2, 1974 A couple and six other people from Houston were arrested for possession of marijuana after local police officers stopped a Ford van on Sunday afternoon on the east side of La Grange.A two-year-old child was among the passengers. Earlier, a Bastrop County deputy sheriff observed the vehicle’s occupants passing around what appeared to be some kind of cigarette on Hwy.
Packing
Tension builds just looking at empty luggage bags. Which size should I take? Can I get everything into one bag or will I need two? And do I want to pay for the second bag or can it be my carry on? How many outfits do I need to pack? Eight days, bus rides, beach, dinners? All these decisions raise my blood pressure, ruin my meditative peacefulness, make me want to play solitaire on my computer, and immobilize my mind.
