"There's nothing for kids to do around here." You hear it all the time in Victoria, especially if you're a parent. Well, that's not exactly true. We do have a myriad of parks around the city, and if you're a skateboarder, or just like watching some kids with skills, then stop by the Victoria Skatepark,  located by Victoria Community Center.  Ceck out this video, and see what I mean. Oh, and the music is pretty cool, too.

I have traveled through much of this great nation of ours, and among the longest legs of some of my travels were right here in the Lone Star State. It's a huge stretch from El Paso to San Antonio, as you are probably aware. In a long stretch like that, there are always radio dead spots without much to listen to.  Comedian Jennifer Kober takes that train of thought a little further in the following video.

Jam Fest was a rousing success in downtown Victoria over the weekend, with lots of events and attractions, and of course some great music. One event that caught people by surprise was a flash mob that happened in the middle of the events. The mob was made up of local dancers and friends, and it went off like something out of a movie.

We always get as lot of requests for this song on 106.9 The Rock. To me, it definitely conveys a certain feeling about the Lone Star State, although the video is a little strange. But who cares? It is a great song. Not bad for a guy who's from across the pond.

Curbside recycling came to our fair city just a few short months ago, and based on what happens in our home, it has made a huge difference. First of all, we have 3 teenage boys, 2 adults, and a few dogs and cats living in our house, but to tell you the truth, there may be a few I don't even know about. Pets, that is. The point being, that we used to throw away quite a lot of trash. So much in facr, that we opted to pay the extra $5 a month to have an additional trash bin to use.

Seriously.

I want them dead. All of them.

Don't give me that crap about how killing them off would be messing up the ecosystem. Screw'em. What have sharks ever done for you, except make you afraid to swim in the ocean? And perhaps provide a little entertainment for a week every summer on the Discovery Channel.

Let me answer that question for you...Nothing. That's what.

Texas is a pretty big place -- but is it big enough for Glenn Beck? The Lone Star State is about to find out.

Conservative pundit Beck, whose New York-based television show for Fox News was recently canceled -- or he voluntarily left, depending on whom you ask -- sold his $3.6 million Connecticut home and is renting a $20,000-a-month two-acre spread in Dallas. “I can’t wait,” Beck told listeners during his radio broadcast on Monday.
