One of my all time favorite musicians was killed years ago in a helicopter crash. At first they thought that Eric Clapton was the one killed, but it turned out that Eric had given up his seat to Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012Allergie Woes
Monday, February 27th, 2012Sounds like we might need to seek out an austin allergist if my daughter’s allergies keep getting worse. I was told that she might want to start the allergy shots that so many people are flocking into Allergist’s offices these days to get. They really have made millions of people’s lives a whole heck of a lot healthier. It can take several years, but worth it in the long run when you consider how miserable having allergies can make your quality of life a real pain.
Communications
Sunday, February 26th, 2012I have been observing the rapidly growing number Spanish-only speaking residents there are living in the area, and I have noticed how many English-only speaking residents there are that are reluctant to learn how to speak Spanish. There is a lot of hostility on the part of the non-Spanish citizens, and I often hear remarks like “If they are coming to this country then they need to learn English.” I also hear a lot of anger about how our tax dollars are being wasted on illegal immigrant families. I’m not sure that is really happening, but the general perception is that it is happening.
I am trying to understand both sides of the issue, and I just want to say that I think it is important that we ALL learn to speak BOTH English and Spanish. Eventually we are all going to need to know both languages in order to get along in every day life here in America. And I think it is important that we all get along!
Kid Brother In Dire Straights
Sunday, February 26th, 2012Since I’m not able to lend my kid brother the money that he needs to get his plumbing fixed, I urged him to look on the Internet and Google “title loans Louisiana” to see if he can find a place close to where he lives that will loan him the money that he needs to take care of the problem. I hate to see him be in such dire straights but there just isn’t any money left at the end of the pay week to take care of my own issues much less his, although I would if I could.
