Merry Old Month
You still can eat out on the taqueria patios or sit in the shade and watch the river flow in early May, without getting zapped to hard by the sun. At least some of the time.
The althea’s in bloom, the bananas are in bloom, the tomatoes are green and approaching tennis-ball size, the peppers are flowering, the figs are half-sized, the hibiscus are flowering like mad and we still don’t have mosquitos.
The rosemary and oregano and Italian parsley and mint and basil all are primo. The cilantro is going to seed, but hey.
What else could you ask for?
I remain busy the better part of seven days a week, scribing for FortBendNow, keeping track of the final days of Tom DeLay, and the boiling cauldron also known as the Fort Bend Independent School District.
FortBendNow traffic is up substantially, thanks in part (if I do say so myself) superior news coverage, especially politics, in what is by any measure a whacky political season.
Now we finally have a substantial local audience, growth is vigorous, and we’re about to make a push for local business advertising.
And – don’t tell anyone yet – free classified ads. Apparently, we must be crazy.
