Hood Minutiae

Seems that Paz Dhody did offer the owners of Brentwood Taverns a fair deal but they claimed it was too little too late. BLEHK! That's just being...the word in Spanish is caprichudos. In the end they didn't sound as invested as their hood clientele. I am sure whatever replaces the Brentwood Tavern will become a gathering place once again. I think if any of the other plans and developers had been picked for this venture there most surely would have been way more unhappy people. For the most part the Farmer's Market development seems a pleasant and welcomed distraction from the Wal Mart development. If only Paz Dhody could have purchased that piece of land. I'm sure he would have had more creative and culturally lucrative plans for the place. Social value just doesn't have the clout economic value has when it comes to development, tres triste.

Clean up in the creek area near Dart Bowl is in order. ICK! Litter all over the place. Very ugly. Now that the weather has changed this is the plan. Creeks scare me a bit. In Del Rio they bring cotton mouths and they are scary: The Cottonmouth snake is related to the copperhead but more dangerous. Venom is highly toxic with severe tissue destruction. Bites are fairly frequent in the southern United States. Color dark or nearly black, especially in adult of the species. Average length 3½ feet, maximum length 6 feet. Possums eat snakes so I am hoping Pepper the possum takes care of the snakes, if there any.

Seems like chili pequin grows all over this neighborhood. I find that so comforting for some reason. I like using it in pico. Very hot pico.

I wish our hood would have a sign up sheet for the homes participating in trick or treat. Our house always gets passed up. Actually, seems everything south of Koening does. Poop.
