The Punchers finished their 2016 Basketball season with a loss to the #9 ranked Schulenburg Shorthorns but not without a fight. Mason showed no intimidation to the size and athleticism that the Shorthorns possessed by jumping out to a quick 9-2 lead playing great defense and shooting the ball extremely well.
Indoor plumbing.
Not all it’s cracked up to be.
Must be the Season for Overflowing.
Backing up.
Clogged.
Everybody and their dog seems to be having problems.
No rest for the weary.
Nor for the local plumbers.
Just ask Jimmy’s Plumbing.

There is one issue that I have not talked about for a couple of months, and some people may think that it has diminished and “gone away” but actually we at the City have been doing background research and talking with consultants. That issue is the proposal to re-establish a municipal Police Force to deal with some of the specific City concerns with law enforcement and patrolling.

Tim Skaggs is a bible-totin’/believin’/preachin’ parson in Brownwood, TX. He’s been caught up in God’s Holy Word for nigh onto a half-century, given high marks for interpreting scripture and its implications.
However, four-year-old Pascal--his and wife Jamie’s first grandchild--fired a question at him a while back that set Tim back on his heels.

When did the rules change at watching a baseball game? Seems heckling the umpire is no longer done. They say it’s not kind! Excuse me, but going to a baseball game and just clapping isn’t in my game plan.
