Check out the great article in today’s Houston Chronicle by David Barron about the present state of Houston’s sport championship history flags and banners. Some of you may also be able to access the column at Chron.Com as an Internet subscriber, or as the bonus feature to your home delivery subscription.
We know what you’re thinking. – Other than the Rockets in 1994-95 – what championship banners?
Vince Lombardi West Point Sweater
Purchased for 58 cents recently at a flea market-level store.
Maybe the lost Houston “championship” flags and banners are now presently covering a tattered couch in some flea market about six miles south of Grand Fork, Nebraska – and are purchasable at the same dollar store evaluation that was given to the customer who purchased Vince Lombardi’s West Point football sweater at a place of that ilk: Check out the story at the following link:

Too Bad it Wasn’t Oil and Ours!
February 10, 2015
When it rains, it pours, and sometimes it happens on a beautiful blue sky day without a cloud in the sky because the “rain” shoots up from the ground and instead of falling upon us earthlings like so many pennies from heaven. The total pennies cost of the lost water from the eroded connection at our house yesterday are too much for my micro-calculator to tabulate in this not-so-little budget-buster loss. A large portion of our front yard had been temporarily transferred to the street because of the COH repair team’s need for a hole in the ground that was large enough to consume all but the top rungs of a very tall ladder and the man who went down it to find and fix the leak. (Check out the above photo carefully and you will see the ladder barely extending up from the large black hole.) They didn’t get it completely resolved yesterday and wil be back this morning to (hopefully) finish the job. Our only compensation is a rather large one. – The COH has informed us that the cost of lost water and repairs this time is on the City.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!
“Sing, Sing, Sing”
No. 1 Song in the USA
December 31, 1937
Do you know what song was the most popular in the USA on the day you were born? If not, click on this fun link that Father Gerald Beirne of Narragansett, Rhode Island sent to The Pecan Park Eagle. You just type in your birthdate in the easy-to-find places and it will tell you.

My birthdate top USA song was “Sing, Sing, Sing” by Benny Goodman. – Yeah, I know. – That one goes way, way back, but what do you expect? – So do I, my friend!
Have a great hump day, everybody. And if it rains at your place anytime soon, pray that the water falls from the sky – and is not simply gushing up from the ground..
