July 14

The Texarkana, Texas City Council met this past Monday and among many items on the agenda was this one: Item # 7 - Electric Scooters in Downtown Texarkana, and on the campuses of Texarkana College and Texas A&M University - Texarkana. It passed.

Thank goodness we did not see an explosion of cases here in the Ark-La-Tex after the July 4th weekend as many feared. The numbers in the Bowie, Cass, and Miller County areas have increased some for sure but nothing near the panic levels the media and Feds want you to think. Again, hospitalizations are up just a bit in our zone F in Texas, increasing from around 3% to 4.43%. Remember the threshold

Let's face it, kids love big trucks. That's not a gender thing either, all kids seem to be fascinated by big trucks and that's the idea behind the 'Big Rig Takeover' happening at your Texarkana Public Library next Wednesday, July 7, and again on July 14.
