Record Fair

The Texas State Fair ended on Sunday, with what the Fair officials say is a record in sales.  It was a beautiful day, and once again, we will wait for another year, and another Fair to debut.  A record 52M in sales at the ticket booths brought the profits up compared to previous years.  The weather had a lot to do with it, since in previous years there was many days of rain outs.  This year was sunny and beautiful with no rain in sight.

The People of Texas Say...........

Here are some comments I found from local citizens about the illegals......who cross our borders in search of free benefits...and citizenship of their babies!

All they want is "freebies"!!! They want EVERYTHING for nothing...rent, food, education, medical...etc. and I pay for it with my tax dollars while THEY benefit. I'm working TWO jobs and can't get ANYTHING free because I "make too much".

Ya know...they will say "this was their country to begin with". Time changes...the Alamo proved that! Borders change...respect that or u will suffer consequences! In some places, anyway.

Send them all back they don't have any rights at all they are here illegally, as well as their offspring. 

Why, should we give them benefits, that we can't get?

Texas Is Doing Something

It just keeps getting worse.........finally, our State is fighting back, even though it's against the Constitution of the USA......Our borders are releasing too many illegals on us and we are having to support them. It's not fair!

Texas Says NO!

Texas says NO!    This video from a Mexican point of view......

One For Bevo

The history of TX/OU football has been one of rebel rousing, for years.  The "Cotton Bowl", has hosted the game, and this year's was a blast.  TEXAS, won over OU in a game that proved to be support for the mascot Bevo, who couldn't attend because of health problems.  Bevo, is the Longhorn Steer, who TX proudly brings to their games as their mascot.
24/17 was the final score, with TX being the winner, and sending the Sooners back across the Red River, that is now orange!  Hookem' Horns!

I-30 Multi Car Wreck

This was live news footage of the wreck Tuesday night, involving several cars and two semi's.  The wreck that began around 6:60pm,  in the west bound lanes of I-30 spread to the east bound lanes, when a semi broke through the cable barrier in the median.  The wreck was located between the exits of #551 and #548 just into the edge of the Royse City, TX city limits.  One person died and several were injured as a result tying up both sides of the freeway, until well after 1am that night.  It has not been determined which vehicle caused the accident.  

This area of the freeway has been under construction for several months and the uneven lanes are very narrow, making travel through this part of the freeway dangerous. 

Flying Red Horse

 

 went to Dallas, last weekend, and to my surprise I saw this big display sitting along the street.

 

When I looked over at the middle of downtown, I saw that the original sign was still atop the building as it had always been.  I assume this means that the plaza is owned by Mobil now?
