Get your “Longjohns” out and get them on and be prepared for this cold north front that is coming our way this week. As for me, I hope to stay snug in my warm den for the duration of it. Just can’t take the cold as I used to be able to.

AUSTIN - Governor Greg Abbott today held a roundtable discussion alongside healthcare professionals at Houston Methodist Hospital to highlight his legislative priorities to ensure a healthier future for the state of Texas.

Folks let me tell you something from a first-hand experience if you’ve never had Covid you are mighty lucky. I’ve had lots of surgeries, flu, etc. but never have I had the “rug jerked out from under me as that Covid did to me”, Weakest of the weakest I’ve ever been in my life, so take it from me, use every precaution you can to keep from having the mess. Went into the hospital on Christmas eve in Groesbeck and came out eight days later. I’m still trying to get my strength back but just have to take it one day at a time.
