Just when you think it is over, the man comes a knockin’.

Here’s a story for you kids. A tale of misery, woe, and local government not knowing which end is up. If you think the gestapo isn’t alive and well in the greatest country in the world, think again…at least in Houston. I got a notification of motion at my front door this morning. I was […]

Accurate information

Where to begin? I started this blog as a way to have a source for accurate information about the house project. It was a big undertaking, garnering quite a bit of unexpected local attention.
