Bob Dunn's Brazos RiverBlog
http://www.bobdunn.com
Sometimes I write about life here in this part of the world because I enjoy reading other blogs aimed along those lines, and we do have a certain measure of local quirkiness available to share. Sometimes I write about the special challenges of growing fruit and vegetables in this climate, in an attempt to act as counterbalance to the abundance of U.S. gardening information tilted toward a northern or Midwest audience. Sometimes I write about food safety and distribution, economic issues and what I call Family Math, because I find that’s where my interests roam. Sometimes I lob criticisms at the owners of what’s left of this country’s big newspapers, because I spent a lot of time as an inky wretch and believe men with vision should have been able to steer their operations out of the path of the obvious impending train wreck. Sometimes I feel that my own trials, errors and conclusions might be of use to others in predicaments I’ve faced before, so I write about them.

Rare Visit From A Trouble-maker
At this moment, we are having what qualifies as an episode here in semi-South Texas: It is snowing, hard. Big, fluffy, real snow. I should point out that it almost never snows here. It isn’t supposed to. The last time it snowed here was Chr...
They Shoot Editors, Don\'t They?
