Notes from the flyover
Local news
One of the things I noticed in the news when we first moved down here is all the kidnappings. We’re not talking ex-husband|boyfriend but random abductions during robberies. There is one in the paper every week or two. This week there was an attempted abduction during a mugging in mid afternoon, in a busy shopping center deep in our little bubble. Texas has intruded into our little island. The local papers and news won’t cover bad things that happen here in The Woodlands. It is bad for business advertising in the paper. It’s getting so the only way to know what’s going on around town is to watch the local forums ( Talk of the Woodlands and Woodlands Underground ). But that is true of national and world news as well.
Weird critters
I’ve been having fun this week taking pictures of vultures. They are huge black birds that feed on road kill. Yesterday I found several hanging out with a group of ducks. Did they think no one would notice? ‘Nobody here but us ducks’.
