The Dedication of Habitat for Humanity House 83 is done, today , July 01, 2012.
The Sweeny City Manager, Ms Cindy King, was among the attending, welcoming the new Sweeny residents to the Sweeny community. Ms King commented that several city noted residents that how good the new home looked and asked how could they get one like it.
Mary-Ellen Thomas, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity of Southen Brazoria County replied that until Sweeny changes they building codes, Habitat for Humanity would not be building in Sweeny again, anytime soon.
Most cities of Brazoria County do not require Habitat for Humanity build two car garages. Habitat for Humanity build homes for people, not for cars and trucks.
As for House 83, Habitat for Humanity board felt that they were too far committed too build House 83 with a two car garage.
Normally Habitat for Humanity does not build homes with two car garage.
In the case of the house near Dairy Bar or House 17, the Home owners build the two garage after the Habitat for Humanity group moved on to the next house. The Habitat for Humanity group can not build garage for car. instead of people.

Saint Arnold Brewing Company
One of the Houston Radio talk show Host tells the story that he was visiting Saint Arnold Brewing Company a local beer brewery one day, when a customer asked the owner, Brock Wagner, why did not Saint Arnold make "lite beer".
Brock Wagner stared at the guy with disbelieve for a moment. Then he grabbed beer mug and filled it half way with water and then filled the rest of it Saint Arnold's beer. After mixing the water and the beer together, he served it the customer.
The customer stare at the "lite beer" for a moment, and then at Block, then the customer tasted 'lite beer. Brock Wagner said to customer, "That is what 'lite beer' is. Half water and half beer." Then the customer apologized to Brock Wagner. Saint Arnold has no plans ever to make "lite beer".
The picture to the right is "Saint Arnold Fancy Lawnmower Beer" one of the several beer that Saint Arnold makes. It's also my wife favorite beer.
Also for the kids [and kids of all age] Saint Arnold makes rootbeer, too. Their root beer is may real cane sugar and not corn syrup which give it a real root beer taste.

Here are some children sing in protest of their principle banning "God bless America" from their school. Please note how some of these grown up react.
These grown ups are not these students' parents.
But are local New York school union thugs!.

Henri Mazza and Sarah Pitre Wedding May 5, 2012
After five and a half hours of traveling cross the state of Texas, we reached our destination of Camp Balcones Springs, near Marble Falls, Texas just about 40 minutes northwest of Austin, the state capital, for Sarah Pitre and Henri Mazza, our niece and her husband wedding on May 5, 2012.
We hide out in our knotty pine cabins with the HI-FI and the A/C. Normally these cabins hold about eight young boys during the summer months, but during the winter months hold two to four adults.
Camp Balcones Springs is located about 825 feet above sea level in the foot hills of west Texas. It is a summer camp for young boys, with water type sports.
Unfortunately, I had motion sickness by the time we arrived, we did not do any of the water sport that Henri and Sarah had plan for their guests to enjoy doing before the wedding.
While the camp site looked real nice and the wedding was good, we look forward to heading home to Lake Jackson.
Fortunately, one of my brother-in-law told us that traveling into Marble Falls, then during south along the west side of Austin was probably a lot better than the way we came. And it was.

Hopefully it will done on the Saturday before the Dedication. Of course, this not the first time Habitat did a house dedication with the home not 100% per cent ready. But Habitat will finish the home.

Rude, crude and sneaked-in food - Bakersfield.com
Rude, crude and sneaked-in food - Bakersfield.com
Most people who go to the movies are pretty courteous.
Then there are the exceptions.
Michael Armendariz, the manager of Starplex Cinemas in Bakersfield, has seen slightly rude, overtly rude and audaciously rude.
Like virtually all cinemas, Starplex discourages customers from bringing in their own food, but on one occasion even Armendariz was amazed by the audacity of movie-goers when he entered a theater to find two large pizza boxes discarded by customers.
"I always wondered how someone managed to sneak in two full boxes of pizza," he says, laughing. "I mean, how do you do that?"
