An Opinionated Overweight Cable Guy.
I have in the past few days seen comments directed at others,concerning matters of importance. The issues brought forth in this Blog are some meaningful,some not. I have no control over the nature of the comments. I must say I do enjoy the responses on my post. And thank you all for your comments. Let me repeat one little thing. I said "ALL OF YOUR COMMENTS". I have read some stating they are tired of my blog and will no longer read it. Some say I post it all myself,I can only say "Thanks for the input", But I do things in a manner unbecoming to some and delightful to others. I post what I see ,as honest as I can. (No fact finding missions here.) I am not a journalist, I am a simple guy with a simple respect for the city I reside in. I vote in all local elections and I take a part in shaping the City Council and Political figures by doing so. It is my right. As it is everyone else's right to comment as they see fit. Elected officials are placed by our votes. They are our voice. If we are unhappy with their decisions we have the right to say so. Those positions within City government other than elected officials are put there by our elected officials. So in retrospect they are placed there by proxy by us,The voters. So they also are in the so called "Spotlight." be it City Managers, Public Works Directors, Police Chiefs or yes even Professional Animal Control Officers. No one in City Government is immune from Public comment in this forum. Now As this has been a week of good and bad comments, I will now give my opinion. So get ready for the."STATE OF THE BLOG ADDRESS" One more time. I did Vote for Robert Smith. Any decisions made by Robert are "Just" as I have seen in the past. The Current council has been doing the job given to them by the voters very well in my opinion. The City manager (James Freeman) has been an asset to this community. The Sales tax residuals have substantially risen after his careful study of the problems of Lufkin and Angelina County receiving Hudson businesses tax money for years without the city knowing. The Public Works dept has made the streets passable and paved all streets. The Sewer Plant has run without a problem for years now. The Council members have been getting things done with no disputes whatsoever. I only have one gripe. And that is that I want to see more businesses interested in coming to Hudson. I want to see the City start working toward incentive packages for the future businesses to court our city for homes here. Now thats about it.And last but not least,We come to the subject of "The Animal Control Officer. He is a good friend and I do say that in all honesty. He has had some hard knocks and he has come through them well. I dont think I know another person in Hudson with as much commitment to his job and his neighbors. Good Job...definetely Good-enough. (Had to do that.)

For Barbara.

FREE

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free,I’m following the path God laid for me.I took His hand when I heard him call, I turned my back and left it all.I could not stay another day,to laugh, to love, to work or play;Tasks left undone must stay that way.If my parting has left a void,Then fill it with remembered joy.A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,Ah yes, these things too I will miss.Be not burdened with times of sorrow,I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.My life’s been full, I’ve savored much.Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.Lift up your hearts and share with me,I’m with God now, I’ve been set free.

RELIEF AT THE PUMPS???? WHERE???

Today as I made my way through the daily rituals of a heavy set middle aged Cable guy, I passed a couple of landmarks that caught my attention. One in Livingston, The other here at home in Hudson. I couldn't help but wonder how in the world the prices vary so much in such a short matter of miles. Oh well, you be the judge. I bet the right person could give us an intelligent answer to this dilemma. I simply dont know who that is. By the way,Jocstop in Hudson was at $2.51.99. Save a couple of cents there I guess.
