Was at one of my law partner's house in that neighborhood for dinner and that shit was popping off for about an hour. Cops and K9 were all over it, looking for a black male in a black hoodie. Not sure if they caught who they were looking for. But some excitement for a normally boring part of town.

The Houston Housing Authority’s mission is to provide housing for these families. However, ten months ago, the housing authority announced it was out of money to provide families with vouchers to help pay monthly rent. Davis wondered where the money went, considering the federal tax dollars involved.” Im shocked, well maybe not shocked.gif
January 15Jan 15 Brazoria County deputy shot, killed by violent fugitive in southwest Houston; gunman on the run Another day in the TIne. Hope they find the guy and he resists, so they can aerate him with lead and save the taxpayers the money for a trial and incarceration.
January 15Jan 15 Just got the blue alert sitting in my office downtown...still not sure what the point of blue alerts is and have no idea what I'm supposed to do with this information. Am I supposed to call off work the rest of the day and go look for this guy? Edited January 15Jan 15 by Evil Bill Obrien
January 16Jan 16 Ok they got him. He apparently didn’t run far and hid in a dumpster. K-9 dog found him and he shot the dog. Cops filled him with lead. It’s over for him - but not for the families
January 16Jan 16 I believe the deputy was part of a special unit that serves warrants to violent offenders. I hope there’s hazard pay for those guys. Jesus what a dangerous job. If this piece of shit was out on a cashless bond, I gonna puke.
January 16Jan 16 The news this morning is saying the suspect was found 5 hours after the shooting in a dumpster in the same parking lot where the shooting happened? Good police work there.
January 16Jan 16 Smh fuckin nerds flagging the bird down like he doesn’t knew where his LZ is, or like he’s going to listen to hand signals from turbotards on the ground.

Not sure if they caught who they were looking for. But some excitement for a normally boring part of town. It happens more than it should. I know of two incidents in Tanglewood over the last few years where friends or parents of friends were attacked on their property upon returning home. I live between Briargrove and Tanglewood on Potomac and last year a guy opened my gate and was hanging out in my “yard” around my patio home. My yard is about 4 feet of rocks/artificial turf around two sides of my patio home. Absolutely no reason for anyone to be there. Freaked my wife out pretty good. After she called the cops the guy finally left.

February 9Feb 9 People are weird. The guy across the hall from me at work went to Cy-Falls and he refuses to leave the Heights. Another guy down the hall grew up in Wyoming and loves Cypress. I dunno. I can’t really work anywhere else, so Houston is home.

Nothing but a majority of aggy, especially my extended family. All farmers or crop dusters. Not a one went to aggy, but every Fall Saturday- full aggy. Only visit to campus is to go to FB games. Goes year round too if aggy does something good.Hook’em!!!

If I had my choice, I would live in the Heights, too, but honestly I have zero interest in moving back to Houston.

February 20Feb 20 The Woodlands look cosmetically great but there is something fundamentally broken with many of the residents. When I meet someone from there I have initial suspicion about them even to a point of assuming the worst until they prove otherwise. I would only think ok of someone if their answer, to where they live, was "I'm in The Woodlands but don't count that against me." I've also noticed that people from surrounding areas are quick to correct you when you say they're from the Woodlands. They're still in Montgomery County, so questionable, but there seems to be a visceral reaction by many to a connection to TW.

I moved to the Woodlands about 3 years ago (because of my ex and my son, I had to). One thing I've noticed, no one smiles here and.... there are a lot more UT folks here than I would have imagined.
