Beautiful Day January 11, 2014 Here in Katy TX   It was a gorgeous day on Saturday January 11, 2014 here in Katy TX. The high temperature was about 72 degrees and it is 66 degrees at 5:36 PM. We did have some cold weather for this area earlier in the week when the lows were in the low 20’s and highs for the day in 30’s due to the polar vortex which gripped a large part of the US. However, we did not have any freezing rain, snow, snow drifts, snow shoveling, icy roads, etc. I think everyone gets the picture.

Another Nail Biter for the Katy Tigers   The Katy Tigers opened their High School football season last evening playing the Klein Bearkats in Reliant Stadium. Yes sir this was another of those nail biter games for the poor parents of the Katy Tigers as Klein was still in the game until near the end of the first half when viola the game was out of hand in a New York second and the fat lady was already singing for Klein. Katy actually showed their team is human as they made some errors! The final score was Katy 41 Klein 3. Like I said another nail biter! LOL!! Let also throw in the comment as how many high school footbal teams open their season playing at Reliant Park?   Before I get several Katy Tiger booster club members men and or women wanting to fight me in the parking lot for making ...
