Left, Right, Centre, back, front.....

    We regret, sincerely, any real or imagined offense about my lack of entering  information concerning the important Texian date of 6 March 2018.

     We urge that the OROG community search out clips, articles, and treatises concerning Lorenzo de Zavala, Stephen Fuller Austin, and Juan Sequin.  Without these men, nothing of the concept of TEXAS would have ever seen the light of day.

Lorenzo de Zavala and Stephen Fuller Austin died very early of diseases, probably yellow fever, compounded by pneumonia.  And they died very early in Life.  Juan Nepumeceno Sequin Zaragoza lived a tortured, but always loyal life and in spite of "changing sides" and fighting as a Mexican military officer from late 1842 until the end of the declared Mexican - American War, he was always and finally recognised as a Hero of Texas.

No automatic alt text available.
The final resting place of Juan Seguin
     Walnut Creek was renamed after his return in life to the properties and position he had had before the "immigrants" overran and engaged corrupt constabulary and registrars concerning the properties of the people who had been there "before".   The name of that place?   Seguin, Texas...a beauty mark on the face of the Republic.
     The picture to the left reveals an episode of the reverence that all Texians render to this Hero of Texas who was tortured emotionally from his place on the face of the Earth, and whose personality and  sacrifices have been readily recognised, long before any hip-cultural movement.

    To-morrow, with luck, a word or two concerning Stephen F. Austin and Lorenzo de Zavala....where were they buried, by their own orders?

Estimado Consuegro:

     Long story short, we have had a very unpredictable schedule.  Oddly, I have been named to be an election worker at one of the big precincts here in  Hidalgo County...in the western part of McAllen.  So, I shall be further out of pocket.  To-morrow, we (I) have to go to the Hidalgo County seat of Edinburg for a "training session", and then on Tuesday you will find me on some obscure site on west Vermont Street in McAllen from 06:00 through 21:00 hours  (with luck).


 This is a picture of my mother.
  My mother-in-law, my wife, and my mother were all elected most beautiful
in those days.  (late 1920s through the mid-1960s)This picture come from Edinburg, Texas in 1929.   She was a typical Southern  rural genius, read over 50,000 books
 during her time.  She kicked  Fannie Shore in the southern regions and
forced her to surmount the limp leg from the polio.
  She shepherded Dinah (Fannie) Shore, 
later to become a glittering
songstress, by pushing her into baseball, stick and wheel,
 and even football, playing against mainly boys. 


 My brothers and I took much from her looks.  She has the face of my
 middle brother, and the colour of my eldest and your humble servant.


​​​​​
​​
      In any regard, these Valencia trees, herein pictured, are only two years old and they began to produce, true enough, a minor crop, a harvest of the finest gift and holiday packer quality Valencia...two years ahead of schedule.
      The Hacendado de la Vega's efforts might pay off as I have said, early on.  Upon return to the Quinta and the Hacienda de la Vega, I shall report to you if there is a "flowering set" on these new plantings of the limes upon which  Don Rafael is counting.  Although it is a year ahead of the anticipated, the oranges on these Valencias speaks to the magical and mystical nature of the relationship between citrus and the Zone of Santa Engracia.

(up-date -  The issue of being involved with the primary vote was a disaster.  I left before 10:00 am in order to not offend further and to take care of things of greater importance.  During the first two hours, we had 8 voters, being attended by 7 poll workers.  I was astounded when it was learned that the position is now a paid position.  I refused any compensation.   Things change after twenty or so years, I guess.)

     It is necessary for all to understand that the rate of criminality of National Rifle Association members is .00013 of their membership.  For the cohort of males who are under medication for ADDTEDDEG64Eaz8HUHHRTYJUJUJ, the rate is about 25.000%, prescribed by real live doctors and administered by real live RNs. For those with no familiarity with the Old  Math training, about one in four...seriously. Always males.

   One in four who are taking "medication" to control their irascible and unpredictable anti-social behaviour", usually starting during the 3rd to 7th grades.   The "medication" in this observer's opinion is simply poison, apparently brewed by people who hate males.   I have known six boys my age who were subjected to those drugs.  None made it to 50 years of age.   Auto wrecks, needle-point allergy, AIDs, and suicide.  Just the facts, ma'am. 

   Do I follow the group that preaches responsible ownership and use of firearms, or do I follow the ones who want to poison males until they fall into the recently openned grave?  

    This is not placed here to forgive or explain the grim reaper's use of the Cruz boy as a shield.   Even the Cruz boy himself begged intervention from the school and police and the now-famous Sheriff of Broward County...nobody cared.   But, for what little good the Beatles served, they did identify Cruz as another.....

    We learned after checking into the various facts that are now being published that Broward County, under a programme that "reassesses the racial characteristics of the adolescents and early offender and seeks better classification of their offenses so as not to show the present great, distorted imbalance of arrests and incarcerations, and to replace those results with a better system by early rehabilitation, free from judicial restraints."  (???????)

     This is, of course, Progressive Bafflegab that says "minority youngsters" will have 253 second chances per year during their childhood (ages 5 through 39?), so as not to be stained by the history of racism for which America is famous."


That's all...
