I remember the first indication of the blue wave (that I was aware of at least) was those Democrats winning Cedar Park city council seats.

It just depends on the jurisdiction. City of Houston playgrounds are closed, Harris County parks are open on a commissioner precinct basis (Republican precinct parks and I think Rodney Ellis' are open)

The parks from the individual MUDs are probably mostly open as well.

There are a lot of entities (government and otherwise like HOAs) that own and operate playgrounds in Harris County - there isn't a uniform answer!

I do think they should reopen playgrounds though - they're outdoors, and fomites have not been a major transmission source - Parks have been the saving grace of COVID.

If I pocket $51 million, I'm never working another day in my life and I'm going to live a life of simplicity, having escaped the miserable grind of employment. Who the hell decides to become a sheriff after literally winning the lottery?????

Basically this. $51 million after taxes is still tens of millions of dollars. If you're even halfway smart about managing it, that's family legacy levels of money for at least a generation or two until one of the kids/grandkids blows through it.

Money can do a lot for you, but many people still feel the need to keep busy. And what money alone can't do is give you the raw feeling of power over others, which I hear people like a lot.

Old rear end, old Mcallen money people that live in those enclaves in South Mcallen near the country club.

I know the area lmao, they couldn't get something remotely in McAllen. What loving losers. AND not even getting the Cantu's to host it either when that fucker is on Abbot's committee to reopen Texas. Same side of town as the Airport these fucks are in and out private jet guaranteed. Cardenas family if I'm not mistaken own a bunch of car dealerships and a parcel or two of the original King Ranch.

Cartel's wouldn't sell poo poo to the Trumps, esp after they repeatedly refer to all Latinx peoples as lesser than. They'd sooner kidnap Jr. and put his face on a soccer ball I'd imagine if it wouldn't incur the wrath of the American military.

For any fellow Panhandle goons (if they exist) - I "got to" meet Ronny Jackson today (the Trump doctor who got denied veterans affairs because of drunk driving). He is as dumb as you think but his wife is sharp - put him in the Rick Perry category of "morons whose entire career is driven by his partner."
