I'll have on my custom tailored BRCC tshirt. I customize all of my t-shirts. :lol:

Then it'll be off to GRB for shopping and people watching for me!

So Sheriff Gonzalez has made it official? Complete suspension of 287(g)? Other than some fluff piece in January about his intent to keep his campaign promises, I haven't seen anything on the news about it.

The juxtaposition--and especially the timing--of the direction the feds and ICE will take compared to the city/county efforts in the populous areas that have gone bright Blue will be...interesting to watch play out. The way Abbott responded to Travis County, I can't wait to see his message to Harris.

Found the first media notification. From ten o'clock last night: http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/ho ... 949617.php.

Sigh. While Waller, Montgomery, and Galveston Counties move forward with the program, Harris County scraps it.

To pull this back on topic, even though I can't be there, maybe this might be a point of conversation next Saturday at the breakfast.

Sorry; didn't realize the other was a subscription link. I don't have a Chronicle subscription, digital or paper. Maybe they're cookie-tracking number of hits and I came in under a "preview" count. The non-paid link shows only an abbreviated portion of the article, though; more detail in the other one. But if sbrawley makes it to the breakfast, he'll certainly know the history of the program in the county and how it used to operate.

I'm glad to see you guys are getting this going. I'm going to at least have good intentions of going although it's a long hike from Friendswood that early in the morning. One thing Chris failed to mention is he also has a ready smile and you won't see it beforehand but he has a solid handshake for everyone as well. I hope this goes really well for you guys, as well as ours has. Congratulations on getting it going.
It's fine if you disagree. I can't force you to be correct.

I can't make this one. My wife has a training ride for the MS150 and I'm helping out.

It looks like we might get a few folks tomorrow. I'm looking forward to meeting y'all.
Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
When those fail, aim for center mass.
