CRIME & SAFETY

We are back this week after the hiatus from the Memorial Day three day weekend which only means one thing. A lot of mugshots and things you missed. If you haven't been living in Texas the past two weeks then you might be in Seattle but lately with all the rain it's hard to tell the difference between the two. That's right we have had tons of rain just hitting Texas and hopefully bringing in lots of crops this fall. One downside is all the flooding that's been happening in cities and rural areas. Don't worry though, if you live in Texas then you could take advantage of the situation and start collecting your own rainwater. It's perfectly legal and encouraged in Texas.
