Without doubt, the best gadget my wife has ever bought for me was an Aroma 5 Quart Digital Cool-Touch Rice Cooker with the 15-hour Delay Timer for flexible meal planning.
A Texas Senate committee on Friday passed an elections bill that would tighten the state’s voting rules by limiting extended early voting hours, requiring proof of disability to qualify for mail-in voting and prohibiting drive-thru voting. Senate Bill 7, sponsored by Sen. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola, is one of Gov. Gregg Abbott’s legislative priorities this session.
Last month’s bitter winter weather sadly claimed the lives of hundreds of Texas Dogs. Lett These dogs perished unnecessarily to the Edi in the storm. As a volunteer for Texas Humane Legislation Network, we received many phone calls and pictures from across Texas of dogs freezing and dying. One picture imprinted on my mind, is of one such dog in our own Camp County. The dog was chained outside without shelter. It’s unfathomable to suffer freezing to death. Mostly importantly, from a human safety perspective, dogs living on the end of a chain are more aggressive and unpredictable. Children have been attacked and some fatally injured by their family dog who lived chained outside.
I have a funny feeling that the reason my friends and neighbors don’t make any sort of comment about the stories I’ve written is because if you’ve read one story about cats, foxes, coffee mugs, mowing the yard, the meaning of life, liberty, space, and the final frontier – well, you’ve read them all.
