Willie Nelson is één van die groter dan het leven Texans. Zeg wat zal u over zijn levensstijl of zijn haar, is hij daar voor landbouwers, voor kleine bedrijfseigenaars, voor vrachtwagenchauffeurs, voor milieudeskundigen en voor zijn leden van de hometownkerk in Abbott, Texas geweest.

Ik eindigde enkel het lezen en uittreksel van Willie Nelson: Het episch Leven door Joe Nick Patoski. Willie groeide in Abbott, Texas. Toen Willie hoorde dat de Methodist Kerk in Abbott voor verkoop en waarschijnlijk was om neer worden gescheurd, kocht hij het gebouw en herstelde de kerk aan de mensen van Abbott. In Juli 2006, wijdden Willie en zijn zuster, Bobbie Lee, de kerk. Zij getuigden en zongen aan een publiek van 300.

Gelukkige Verjaardag, Willie. De god zegent u.

Ik weet u deze reclamespots voor hebt gezien lifelock: Mijn naam is Todd Davis. Mijn sociale voorzieningenaantal is 457-55-5462.

Wist u dat de identiteitsdiefstal $50 miljard per jaar racket is? Uw identiteit zou kunnen aan open creditcards, bankrekeningen en aan veilige kredietgrenzen worden gestolen en worden gebruikt! Slechter, kon één of andere terrorist uw krediet gebruiken om aankopen te maken die tegen onze natie moeten worden gebruikt.

LifeLock biedt dit alles voor $10 per maand aan:

• De Bescherming van de Diefstal van de identiteit
• De verminderde Post van de Troep
• De verminderde Aanbiedingen van de Creditcard
• De Waarborg van de Dienst van $1 miljoen

Ik heb een meisje dat al haar identiteitskaart had die met haar beurs wordt gestolen. She remembered most of the items in her wallet, but she forgot one credit card. With that one credit card and her stolen driver’s license, the thief was able to rent a brand new car and disappear with it. It took months to clear up the stain on her credit.

So, skip a lunch and pay the $10 a month for your peace of mind.

I was updating the Got Gas? section on the Library page on Texas RV Travel website, so I decided to post the information here as well.

While traveling around Central Texas, we have seen gas prices vary by as much as 10 cents per gallon in the same city, depending on location. The worst place to buy gas is right off the highway unless you hit a Love’s or other discount store. Look for HEB, Wal-Mart and Sam’s Clubs. In San Marcos, Sam’s Club is the cheapest gas by 10 cents.

• Alternative Fuels Data Center - fueling stations for the following alternative fuels: compressed natural gas (CNG), 85% ethanol (E85), liquefied petroleum gas/propane (LPG), biodiesel (BD), electric, hydrogen, and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Stations are located throughout the United States.

We Texans have not had this much attention focused on our state since we sent our last governor to the White House, and we are still trying to live that down.

I have answered 25 opinion polls in the past week. In the same time period, I have been solicited for as much cash as I make in a year. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are hitting Texas hard, battling hard for votes in the upcoming Texas primary. They debated once already and will debate again next week. The debates between the two candidates are so incredibly polite that they are almost a non-event.

U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy spoke for Barack Obama Thursday on the campus of Texas State University-San Marcos. Caroline Kennedy will be making an appearance in Austin on Tuesday. I think it is incredibly meaningful that they both came to Texas–where her father and his brother–the hope of the nation, was shot and killed on daytime television on November 22, 1963.

I noticed that Cesar Chavez’s son and Robert Kennedy, Jr. are both actively stumping for Hillary Clinton. Clinton is hoping the strong Hispanic vote will turn out for her. Barrack Obama is garnering support from the unions. I can tell you that the Democrats are early voting in record numbers in my county.

This is a historic election. This is the first time a woman or a black man have been in the running for the top spot of the USA. I only wish they were not running against each other. I guess it is better than having to vote for four more years of the same!

The San Marcos body farm has finally found a home on the Freeman Ranch, leased to Texas State University. A body farm is a forensic anthropology site that is used to study bodies buried under different conditions: on the surface, at different depths, in a car trunk, under water, taking into account variables such as time of year and weather conditions.

The TV series, Bones, is about Temperance Brennan, a highly skilled forensic anthropologist who works at the Jeffersonian Institute in Washington, DC.Texas State University-San Marcos has their own Bones, Dr. Melbye, who is an expert in the field of physical anthropology with specialization in human skeletal biology. Dr. Melbye is the director of The Forensic Anthropology Center at Texas State, Department of Anthropology.

Not that the Body Farm will be a hot tourist spot, but it is something of interest and provides a necessary service to students of forensic anthropology. It will also give Dr. Melbye a place to put all the bones that are sent to him by law enforcement officials.
