Did you know that Texas gets earthquakes?  I've been here more than 24 years, and I don't ever recall hearing anything about earthquakes.  Maybe it's because they don't strike North Texas... until last night!  Last night, around 11:30pm and again after midnight until 3am, there were several earthquakes at the Irving and Grand Prairie border.  The largest ones coming in at 2.6 and 3.0 on the ricter scale. These are the very first earthquakes to ever be reported in the DFW area.  In the past, there have been other earthquakes that happened elsewhere that were felt in parts of Ft Worth and Denton, but no other actual eathquakes in the area. There have been many reports as to what this felt like.  I heard on the news this morning that most said it felt like an explostion with no sound. Only... 10/31/2008

  I attempted to vote yesterday.  I left the office around 2:30pm figuring it would be a good time since I would avoid all of those that decided to vote during their lunch hour.  The closest polling place was at the Valley Ranch Library  - The Valley Ranch Library is located at 401 Cimarron Trail on the corner of Cimarron Trail and N. MacArthur Blvd., in Irving. When I arrived (it was easy to find as you could see the dozens of political "vote for me" signs stuck in the ground everywhere!  But to my surprise, when I entered the library there were approximately 30-40 people in line waiting for their turn.  So I decided to try another time. Plan "B":  Try going to vote on my way to work in the morning.  I left home at around 8:30am.  Well, I returned to the polling place, 3 people ahead ... 10/29/2008

I am always amazed at what I see on the side of the road.  Fortunately Texas has done a great job of keeping our highways clear of clutter.   They may be cleaner than ever before but that is not the only thing I like about them.  They also maintain natural beauty in the busiest parts of the cities. I am mighty proud of my state and pictures like this (I took myself) make me proud to be a Texan.  These were shot on 161 and 183 in Irving.   04/30/2008

Depending on the income level of the person and on the number of people in the family, you could be eligible for up to $30,000. Not a bad chunk of change for prospective Irving residents.

The new "Dallas" Cowboy's stadium in "Arlington" isn't even built yet, and we have already won the bid for the 2011 SuperBowl XLV!!  How does that happen?  I guess the pictures of what the stadium is supposed to look like blew them away enough to not care that it's not built yet.I also wonder if the Cowboys will continue to be call the DALLAS Cowboys since the new stadium is in Arlington.  Granted, the current stadium is in Irving, which isn't Dallas, however, it is in Dallas County.  Arlington is not in Dallas County, it is in Tarrant County.  Will the start calling them the Texas Cowboys, or the North Texas Cowboys... We already have a stadium called the "Rangers Stadium in Arlington" which is a new name from the first which was "The Ballpark in Arlington".  Who comes up with these st... 05/22/2007
