ERCOT Reform An Emergency on Texas Legislative Agenda - Ya Think?
Did you know... there is such a thing as the Electric Reliability Council of Texas? Commonly referred to as ERCOT, this is apparently the governing body in Texas over preparedness and energy needs within the state. I think we can safely say that this 'governing body' fumbled this current deep freeze emergency rather badly as we still have millions of Texans with no power for over 24 hours and no r

When planning our trip I asked my wife to find us a place to stay at the halfway point between Branson and Texarkana so we could have one more night on the road and break up the drive a little.

It's been over a year since ground broke on the donuts of my dreams, Shipley Do-nuts, and it looks like we're getting close. Look there, in the window, it's a "Now Hiring" sign! I grew up in Houston where Shipley began, and I love 'em! I can only hope they live up to my memories.

We haven't really been hit by much "winter weather" yet but make no mistake, it's coming, and with that, there's always a chance of losing a nip. Not funny! Let's be mindful out there as those temps begin to drop with this reminder of the story I did last January of some very unwanted consequences. It's the most horrifying story of the year in my humble opinion.

Comic book legend and Superhero creator Stan Lee passed away today, November 12, 2018, a sad day in the comic book and superhero movie world for sure. Several years ago my wife and I were at a Comic Convention in Dallas or San Antonio or somewhere... and I dang near accidentally took him out myself.
