Now get this one. My grandson tells me this year in school they sat and watched “Finding Nemo” - in Spanish (no subtitles). They had to sit and watch it and quote “I was very bored”. It was part of “Spanish Day”.

Our tax dollars go towards making our kids watch movies in Spanish to no purpose other than to promote a bilingual PWC. I am very angry about this. I do intend to speak to my representative about this.

So…once again…another great article by an ex-muslim. You liberals who think everyone will embrace your ways and hold hands….why don’t you read the quote above from the article.

Start with finding out WHO it is that OWN the Spanish TV and radio networks and your journey begins…..

There’ve been several ordinances passed since last summer that seem to take some time before it actually trickles down to the inspectors. I just think the postition needs to be taken seriously by all, and not some continually turning the blind eye. That behavior must stop.

How many property code enforcement folks are there? There seemed to be an awfully long time between complaint being filed and any sort of inspection when I heard that report given back in the fall.

When were the new laws passed and are they state or county ordinances?

It was my understanding that this department was under-staffed. I was assuming my source was reliable.

“Mexico Abruptly Restricts Car Imports

Mexico Abruptly Bans Imports of Most Used Autos, Causing Panic Among South Texas Dealers

Until now, used cars 10 to 15 years old were scooped up at auction by South Texas used car dealers and rapidly sold to Mexicans hungry for affordable transportation and “la novedad” — or novelty — of unfamiliar makes and models.

Cars newer than that were banned from imports as unwelcome competition for Mexican car dealers, and anything more than 15 years old was seen as a potential environmental and safety hazard.”

But now, under pressure from Mexico’s new car dealers who say “vehiculos chatarra,” or jalopies, undercut their sales, the Mexican government is allowing only 10-year-old used cars to be legally imported into Mexico.

All of a sudden, 1998 Luminas, Astro vans and Ranger pickups are sought-after trophies.

The Mexican Association of Automobile Distributors, which pushed for the change, said it was needed to “stop the accelerated conversion of our country into the world’s biggest automotive garbage dump.”

“The worse thing we can do is buy something that we don’t know if it can go across (the border),” Juan Gutierrez said. “If a 1997 worth $3,000 can’t cross, it’s not even worth $1,500.”

I believe lead paint use in homes was outlawed in 1969.

With that said, it brings up another question. Will the houses be condoned? If the answer is yes, more and more houses are sitting and face the same scenario.Then what? ( I know, ” I like to ask “why” to much, lol)

Truthfully, on very, very few occasions. After church on Sunday, it is usally “chill” day doing basically nothing. I do not spend my
Sunday’s shopping. There are six other days of the week that can be done. I don’t know whether your are old enough to remember “Blue Laws.” Stores were not allowed to open on Sunday and those that were, were restricted as to what could be sold. The quest for the “almighty dollar” big greedy business changed that. A lot of the business you see open on Sunday are the same ones you see the day after thanksgiving open at midnight to get a few more bucks in their coffers while paying their employees minimum wage. To each his own!

BINGO!

They are sitting and sitting…. more and more will be weathered or vandalized. Just stop and think about what will be the next solution?
I know everyones first thought is investors will buy them up and then they become rentals or sec 8. Go beyond that? If that is not the option everyone wants then what? ( that is the tongue and cheek question:) )
