NEWS

Big news with the Astros today as they announced the signing of both Adam Everett and Jason Lane to one-year contracts worth 1+ and 2+ million, respectively. My take on this is a positive one as I believe these two players can bring power to their areas on the field and behind the plate that will help us be in serious contention for the pennant and “the big one” this coming season. If anyone has additional Astros rumors/news, please feel free to comment. Read more: Houston Astros sign Adam Everett, Jason Lane to One-Year Contracts

The Houston City Council has moved forward with honoring Jeff Bagwell by approving Tuesday as our city’s official “Bagwell Day”. Unnecessary? Yes. Pretty cool? Yes. Read more: Houston City Council to honor Bagwell

WEATHER

Looks to be another beautiful day, while memories of dreary skies and rain are still fresh in our heads. Enjoy the welcomed change

You may recall that a short while back into 2006 I had posted about certain red light camera locations throughout Houston. My reason for doing so is to hopefully spread awareness regarding the issue and in turn having safer drivers on the road.

I’m sure you notice day in and day out when folks run red lights at intersections, sometimes blatantly. It’s flat out dangerous and costs lives. Anyways, HPD and TxDOT are serious about cracking down on those who run red lights and have set up additional cameras. Below you’ll find a list of the most recent installs, fairly recent, and the ones that have been around the longest.

Drive safe, and drive smart.
