A power outage has been reported in South Central Laredo along Chihuahua Street.
At about 9 p.m. today, a vehicle struck a light pole at Chihuahua and McClelland Avenue, knocking out power in the area, said District Chief Eloy Vega, Laredo Fire Department spokesman.
No serious injuries were reported in the crash.
Last night the Keyrose household had to eat everything in the refrigerator to avoid any food from going to waste. The decision was made after the electricity was interrupted. But it wasn't just our house that was without power; The whole neighborhood was pitch black.

Last night the Keyrose household had to eat everything in the refrigerator to avoid any food from going to waste. The decision was made after the electricity was interrupted. But it wasn't just our house that was without power; The whole neighborhood was pitch black.
For a couple of hours we sat together with nothing but candles giving off light. Thankfully a portable DVD player briefly kept us entertained. Later we learned that a vehicle crash caused the power outage. (Thanks to the L.F.D. spokesman for the info.)
A subject I wanted to blog about last night was the lawsuit that Eduardo "Mr. Uni-Trade" Garza brought against VIDA, Hector Farias, and Jose Valdez Jr. The LMT featured a story on it yesterday. Apparently a judge allowed the case to go forward. Mr. Garza supposedly has evidence of slanderous comments made against him, and the mayor, city manager, and four council members (Vera, San Miguel, Liendo, Garza) have provided affidavits that help his case.
This whole case is funny because VIDA, and Dr. Hector Farias put themselves forward to highlight the all-too-cozy relationship between Mr. Eduardo Garza and city council. Now that a lawsuit is underway, the mayor, city manager, and council members are all too ready to oblige their political patron with sworn affidavits. In doing so, they highlight what Farias is trying to point out.
If somebody made a claim against Mr. Garza that he's a gun runner, or drug dealer, or abuser of dogs, then he should fight his own battles, and prove that he's an upstanding individual. Don't call on those that stand to benefit from your financial benevolence to speak for you, especially when conflicts of interest exist. And city hall has to stop using the word transparency if it's going to get upset and retaliate against anybody who asks questions about its business.

___Refrigerator will remain cold for several hours after it loses power so as long as you don't keep opening the door, milk and eggs and other products will remain safe. Too bad you had to eat all those other "disposables" but H.E.B. is ready and willing to restock all that food eaten en el Chacon, for a fee of course.
Come to think of it, maybe it was HEB who orchestrated the whole blackout. All our food wastes, and then we have to get fresh stuff. Brilliant on their part.

Yea,, let's talk about Henry cuellar's letter to his constituents telling them that social security is not only solvent but has a magical trust fund brimming with real
Money with your name on it. I don't know what is sadder,, that we have a congressman who,is a bald faced liar or the fact that so many of his uneducated constituents
Believe him.
Hey Henry I've been paying in since 1968,, how about cutting me a check from "my account". For just Half of what I put in. And well call it square..but of course not because
Socialist insecurity is a Tax.. the government is broke and the only thing in the government are liars and iou's
