In the news last night I saw that there was a rally on the courthouse steps for Nicole Collier, the representative from this district. If I'd seen something about it I'd have attended (begs the question, why didn't I look to see if there was a rally? Many of these things happen in Austen, about 3 hours south of here, and I couldn't have made it to that one.)

A local county commissioner gave a rousing speech at the commissioners court yesterday, about the right to vote. Will it touch the hearts of the GOP? I doubt it, but it was a worthy speech and hopefully will be shared widely. (I'm looking for the link, I'll share it later.)
