Tears of Joy Already - 05/27/08 03:23 PM
I've always been a huge fan of the College Station Independent School District.(CSISD) I'll admit, I could be slightly biased as I graduated from A&M Consolidated High School. When I graduated from Texas A&M, I was the first person in my family to graduate from college. Now that my son Sean … (2 comments)

Parks or Pastures??? - 05/25/08 06:29 PM
Have you ever considered how NOT considering other people's points of view creates problems? Based on the College Station City Council election results, the idea of parks and green space appears to be very high on a lot of the voters agendas. I've spent a lot of time thinking about what do people … (3 comments)

Living Life to It's Fulllest - 05/25/08 01:24 AM
Seasons change. Nothing stays the same, yet everything stays the same.

Voter apathy??? - 05/10/08 11:38 PM

Fraud and Deception - 05/07/08 05:29 PM
Why is it that low life scummy people are not the ones that get convicted of stealing thousands of dollars? No one trusts them with money, so they do not have access to large amounts of money.
