To The Editor: It seems the author of the recent letter “Telling the Real story on Rising Prices” suffers from strategic amnesia – a syndrome that lets someone forget they are guilty of the behavior for which they demonize another. The Democrats are not “tackling price gouging” though the ploy has been around since the 1970s. President Joe Biden is the latest to use it. The Inflation Reduction Act (also known as “Build Back Broke Act) was passed with VP Kamala Harris breaking the tie and has been described by a senior policy analyst for budget policy at the Heritage Foundation as a “Trojan Horse for more of the same policies that created ‘stagflationary’ fire consuming the economy in the first place.”

To The Editor: To Mr. Green,(regarding his letter last week) it seems necessary to remind you that just because a lawsuit is filed it isn’t “a win for law and order and an indescribable blow to the Trump grift.” Anyone can file a lawsuit against anyone at any time for anything.

To The Editor: (Rogers didn’t write this himself but sent it to us and thought our readers might enjoy this, and we agree) The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing. To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one, which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do.

TEXAS History A well-traveled catcher from the Lone Star State smacked a three-run double to put the Detroit Tigers ahead of the Chicago Cubs in Game 7 of the World Series on Oct. 10, 1945.

CAPITAL Highlights Texas has deployed state resources to Florida to assist in response and recovery efforts in the aftermath of the devastation caused last week by Hurricane Ian, one of the most powerful storms to hit the United States in the past decade. “Texans understand the urgency of hurricane disaster response and recovery efforts, and our state is swiftly sending more support and resources to Florida as they continue responding to Hurricane Ian,” Gov.

During our trip to visit my in-laws in Ft. Collins, Colorado, I noticed a few things I found interesting.

I’m sitting here on the side of a mountain in Santa Fe, NM. It’s another perfectly gorgeous morning. Deep blue sky. And the sloping fall light that always seems three times brighter here. I’ve been in this little house all month, fleeing the heat and finishing my memoir manuscript about Leon Hale and me. The deadline has caught me thinking about timelessness and place. About tourists. In Fayette County we’re learning the effects of popularity. Round Top bulges with it, changing our daily landscape and our traffic patterns. There’s been a influx of developer activity—growing over the past ten years or so, and recently accelerating. I always think Santa Fe is a good example of a place that understands tourism. That takes it in and uses it, revels in it to some degree, but allows none of it to affect its core, source of its blood and spirit. I hadn’t been here for a protracted visit for more than fifteen years. When I came for a week last year, visiting my longtime friend Donna Norquist and her husband, I stayed downtown in the old La Fonda Hotel. Tourist Central, that is. And I found the city much changed. Coming back this year, I don’t notice those changes as much.

Bobby socks and penny loafers. Those were staples back in the day, at least for girls.

To The Editor: In Response to Ms. Hooper’s letter from the Sept.

Last week I scheduled a meeting to discuss a few things with La Grange ISD director of operations and safety Sharon Muzny, and also met with Bamba Scott. They were very professional and kind and they took notes. I was very pleased with the way they handled the meeting. I am happy to report that they put two things on the LGISD website that I asked for. They put a map of the home side of the football stadium so that everyone who buys a ticket can look at the map and see what section their ticket is for. They also made a professional email address for each school board member, so that folks in the district who have a concern or suggestion can email the school board members. The email addresses are located on www. lgisd.net, then click on “menu,” then click on “inside LGISD,” then click on “school board,” then scroll down and you will find the official school board emails.
