I do like to check the DMN Garland Blog when I can because Ray Leszcynski and Karel Holloway have been doing a good job posting bits of news that doesn't make the big paper or we get a heads-up of a coming story.

I've yet to finish writing my post on Tuesday's meeting when the Council had a public hearing on Public Improvement Districts. It was a raucus meeting with lots of entertainment. Several ex-Council members were in attendance. Well, it was once again a lot like when they were sitting behind the horseshoe. It's a hard post to write to cover the territory and stay concise. A lot about PID's is challenging, even writing about them.

 
There were important posts too on School Board Trustee Larry Glick and his travels to every GISD school, and another on a tour this weekend of the 200-300 year-old trees in the Spring Creek Forest. I'll be recovering from a Scout all-nighter or I'd love to be on that tour!
