Estes posts solid win over Stafford
The local things are meeting transportation needs and the illegal immigration problem." Estes noted concerns with legislative funding and snafus at the Texas Department of Transportation, along with concerns about the Trans-Texas corridor.

And so it is that your correspondent, memorably dubbed as the faux "crusading everyman" by one of our angrier blog participants, has already done his taxes, an annual end-of-January ritual before heading to spring training and being immersed in a six-week world where normal life is put on hold and baseball takes precedence over all else. We'll be headed down Wednesday, a day before pitchers and catchers are officially required to report. Need some time to stock the fridge of the rental house and get a lay of the land in our new neighborhood, plus stop by the ballpark at Dark Star to see how many eager Braves arrived early.
