A Few Unwanted Plants

Article Image Alt Text

When writing articles for this column I usually like to interject a little humor here and there when I can. Many of my friends will tell you that I’m not real talented when it comes to telling jokes or funny stories.

I saw a joke recently that said the leading cause of injury in old men is thinking they are still young men.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor:

The Azle School Board is asking for voter approval to upgrade, expand, and renovate the Azle High School facilities.

I will be voting yes to support Azle students. Parents, please make the time to vote. Every single vote counts.

My daughters have both graduated, but I will be voting to support current and future Azle students.

Early voting is October 18-29. Election Day is November 2nd.

Lisa Crabtree, Azle

Dear Editor,

I laughed!

I don’t know why this memory just popped up in my brain. I’m sitting in one of my favorite coffee shops enjoying an afternoon cuppa.

The song currently playing is “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honeybunch)” by The Four Tops.

The previous song was Elton John’s “Rocket Man.”

There is no reason whatsoever for this memory.

VOTE AGAINST THE BONDS

Did you know? That the Azle School Board is asking Azle Voters to approve another $50 million dollar tax increase on Nov. 2? After taxpayers already approved $40 million in May? On top of a 2021 property tax increase of $238 ($127 Azle School District) and ($111 City of Azle) on the average home in Azle ISD ($196,000)? That only 6 months ago Azle voters rejected the same Bond? Can we get a break from the School Board asking for more of our tax dollars for even a year?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor,

Unity Amidst Diversity

“I’m always on your side, but that does not mean I always agree with you,” is a saying that my wife and I have sought to honor throughout our marriage. Although we may not enjoy disagreements, they have regularly proven beneficial. They help us consider the impact on others, rethink our positions, reevaluate our plans, better count the costs, and seek consensus. Tim Keller in his book The Meaning of Marriage, insightfully wrote, “Friends become wiser together through a healthy clash of viewpoints.”
