Short version... he was dispatched (correctly) to an alarm call and had the right house number but the wrong street in the same neighborhood.
At one point, I ...

Not gun related, but we need a little levity I think.

Judge rejects state terrorism charge.
To be fair, that crime wasn't "terrorism"... Hard for me to argue with dropping that particular charge.

Re: Texas GLO purchases Menger and Crockett Hotels
It's law in TX that hotels cannot prohibit guests from carrying to and from their rooms.
Other common areas can be off limits.

Re: Desparate prayer request for our granddaughter
her chest tube was removed yesterday.
According to her surgeon she will be able to resume normal activities, including her Basketball and Volleyball after her sternum is healed.
When I had open heart surgery in May (robotic valve repair, not open chest), the most painful part was the chest ...

Re: Tired of Cornyn?
As much as I want Cornyn gone, Paxton comes with his own baggage, rightly or wrongly...
I'll vote ABC (anyone buy Cornyn) in the primary but seems we should be able to do better than Paxton.
I expect Paxton will be more vulnerable on election day vs whatever Dem gets their nomination.

Re: 2025 TX Legislative Session
So... no "state fair" fix. Very disappointing.
If only all Texas LTC holders would boycott the State Fair and encourage everyone they know to do so, perhaps lost revenue will persuade the fair.
I suspect all the hoopla last year didn't translate into enough legislators actually caring about ...
