Three Mexican restaurants I miss are Old Mexico on W Gray, Santa Anita on Pierce and Louisiana and Del Rio on Shepherd and W 26th. These were places from my childhood, but I can still taste certain dishes from each restaurant.

I also miss DePaul

woody's has excellent beef jerky.

I think it would be cheaper to fly texasboy to Houston, put him up in a motel, feed him and rent him a car than it would be to shop at Woody

Colina's is my favorite. I normally go to the one in the Heights.

Yes, that is definately Playland Park!

The main entrance was to the left of that photo. As you entered, the first ride on the left was the booth for the train which ran along side the roller coaster (behind it in the photo). Just beyond that is where Murworth is now. The round ride in the photo is the Tilt-a-Whirl.

I attended Hamilton JH, so Hogg was our rival.

I know exactly the type globe you are talking about. I know we had them at Hamilton as well as Reagan. I think most schools had the exact same ones.

Last I heard, the goat man was killed by a chupacabra.

But, then, that may just be a rumor.

Have you ever played Treeline? I used to play it quite a bit because it was cheap and easy to get a tee time. It had 7 par 3s back when I played there, but the course has been redone since then.

I always was creeped out by the "Cockroach Report" - what was the exact name again?

I think they quit doing that segment when Marvin was caught one day carrying a throwdown roach.

I could be wrong, tho.

You know, I have noticed over the past few weeks that Marvin

I called my insurance company with my new Bastrop address, and my insurance rate went down by over a third.

I passed that location quite a few times as a small kid, but I never remember seeing that building. I think that's something I would have remembered, so it must have been torn down in the early 50s.

What is so scary about this situation is that many of these groups are little more than common thugs, and they are using weapons such as these!

Do you think we should close off the border at Nuevo Laredo? Is there anything else we could do?

What in the world was Willie Nelson thinking?

Maybe about how to get the IRS off his back?

Burt Reynolds is so smarmy, I can't even stand to watch the previews of this or any other movie he is in.

In case any of you want to buy the kit, . . .

I agree about the accents. Larry Hagman's accent was exaggerated and did not sound the least bit Texan on the series, and he is a native son!

I was restless last night and couldn't sleep, so I sat in the living room watching TV. I heard the chirping the entire time I was awake. I am convinced now that these are not birds. However, every time I opened the back door, the chirping stopped, so I could not find the source.

Oh, this is not good news. Not good a'tall! I was looking forward to this development being built. It would have been quite convenient for me since this intersection is on the way to downtown Bastrop from my place. I am 6.5 miles south of there not far off of 304.

I hope this doesn

The

Is that the old Sears store?

That reminds me of an old Aggie joke about why Aggies have pointed chins and flat foreheads. When I read about your car, I was stroking my chin wondering if I should know the answer. Naturally, the forehead came in for a good slap when the obvious answer struck me.

I did a search years ago for Wattie Watkins, and you are right, it does seem to be common to use the nickname with that last name, just as many use

I know of the Wunsches, but I never knew that was their cemetary. That's nice to know.

I rode the Goodyear blimp out there once. It was a fun thing to do, but not as thrilling as one might think. Once, while in the Navy, I was catapulted off the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. Now that was a trip!

I had two Fiats

Right now Joseph is in the back yard garden conversing with the statue of Mary. Tomorrow we will hold the burial ceremony. Michelle has the prayer to go along with the service.

The house is on Victory at Leaning Oak.
