"Reel Reviews: ‘Air’ banks on Nike sneakerhead interest but does manage solid laughs" by: Jessica Shepard

"Sailing through roundabout easy when no one else around" by: Mike Reddell

The traffic roundabout that TxDOT contractors are working at Texas 60 and FM 2668 continues to draw any number of responses from people.    I’m forever tainted about traffic circles by the Chevy Case European Vacation comedy where he is trapped circling for hours on a traffic circle.

"Family trip to College Station brings new Aggie shopping experience" by: Jessica Shepard

"I’ve found fighting windmills a losing battle" by: John Sample

We made it through another week without the world collapsing, but there was enough new news to keep people busy.    The CPI and PPI came in cooler than projected.    That is not to say that inflation is over.    CPI is below 6%, but it is far above the target of 2%.

"Covering full court presses by Port, Luther supporters" by: Mike Reddell

Last week I covered two – really three – events that were full-court presses for their respective goals.

It never fails that every few months like clockwork there’s a suspicious person or persons getting into unlocked cars in local neighborhoods.

"Spring is here: It’s more confusing than comforting" by: John Sample

Here is hoping that your Easter weekend with family and friends was joyous.      The market was closed on Friday eliminating any knee-jerk reaction to the jobs report last Friday.      It came in as expected at 235,000, which was right at expectations for new jobs.
