49 years in Brownsville. What a drag.


Gone up to the Big Barrio in the sky.

Love and respect from Brownsville. Love Messi and Argentina. I was only fifteen years of age when I saw great Maradona scoring the goal of the century against England live on our 20-inch TV. Ever since, I am an Argentina soccer fan. Congratulations!!!

Why was he in jail?

don't ask me to feel sorry for a thief or wifebeater. What did he do?

They say that if you fall over face-first from a heart attack that you're going to Hell. Looking down is going down.

Settlers in the colonies founded by José de Escandón in South Texas requested individual land allocations as early as 1753, but not until 1767 did a Spanish royal commission began the work of surveying and granting possession of land to individual colonists at the Rio Grande villas of Laredo, Mier, Camargo, Revilla (later Guerrero), and Reynosa. The commissioners, Juan Armando de Palacio and José de Ossorio y Llamas, were instructed to survey the various settlements and jurisdictions, to distribute the land to individual settlers, and record all transactions. The land was to be divided on the basis of merit and seniority, with the colonists divided into three categories: original, old, and recent settlers. Due to the shortage of water and the importance of irrigation for agriculture in the region, the commissioners surveyed long, thin strips of land, each with narrow frontage on a water course. These elongated quadrangles were known as porciones.

Why have approximately 17 people left the Cameron County Auditors Dept? The Auditor is awful and has absolutely no skills. Most of those that have quit had been with the county for YEARS! She is appointed by the District Judges. If this isn't a wake up call, I dont know what is. What does she know or who's palm does she grease that they keep her?
