Props to the Rockwall County Library!
I called the library to ask if they had ordered F9/11 on video. The nice lady said they had not, and I offered to buy them a copy. She seemed pleased.

I drove to the library, and at the circulation desk I mentioned I had the movie to give them. The lady there said, "Oh good, I was going to rent it, but won't have to now." She and the lady in charge of ordering inventory both thanked me for my contribution. I told them I knew that this wasn't a popular thing to do here in Bush country. In which the lady at the desk replied, "We don't do censorship here." The other lady nodded her head in agreement.

If you are a Rockwall county resident, vote "yes" for the new library. We're in desperate need of a bigger building, and these are really good folks.

2. Do you live here?
I do, and I think we can get it passed. This has nothing to do with parties. It has everything to do with education and learning.

Rockwall County is full of yuppies with kids. If nothing else, they want to be able to get copies of "The Hungry Hungry Caterpillar" for Chelsea, Brittany, and Dustin.

3. I hope you are right
but I have seen the repugs cut taxes at all costs in places like San Diego. People have died their in the yearly fire season because they do not want things like police/fire helicopters and a fire dept equal to the ones in LA.

4. Well,
we finally managed to get beer and wine sold at our 2 main grocery stores.

If we can do that in the middle of Baptist hell, I think a library will be easy.
