I done lived here forever and never cared about the lake so I say let it dry up and teach all them lake lovers a lesson.

In regards to the Letter To The Editor in 4-13-13 paper no one could have said it better. Mr. Jerry Don Hodges is everything that was said and more. It is wonderful to go to First National Bank and he always says hello and chats.… Read the rest

Wow… I’m embarrassed. Note to City Manager & Council; Time to pull up the big boy underwear, accept the NRC answer that lake levels have no impact on nuclear plant safe operations and sit down with the BRA to explore realistic and viable opportunities to keep more water in our lake. Spend the DC trip money on ads to repair the damage you’ve done.… Read the rest

At a street of Big Horn in Hood County, somebody has taken habit to use rifle or gun in early morning and evening, what is left from bullets raining to my roof. I called officers this morning, they came and it happened again this evening.

There are those who step forward and quietly serve their country and community with humility and pride and then there are the others, including Elected Officials, who whine, yelp and protest for attention without facts or focus.… Read the rest

Cheers to the Granbury FFA president for having a VERY successful year at the stock shows! Good luck in college!

n Jeers to my neighbor’s teenage son in for playing your subwoofers in your truck so loud at night that it wakes my wife and I. We understand that it is cool for you kids to do that. But please don’t do it in the middle of the night!… Read the rest

Our City, County and State elected officials are now on board and so are many businesses and non-waterfront property owners to Save OurLake. How about the 3100 plus dock owners on Lake Granbury getting on board too. This problem affects us all.

Thank You, Hood County News, for publishing a piece by someone with common sense and some knowledge about our lake and had the courage to speak up with some facts!… Read the rest

Jeers to the person that hit my car with their car door.

After attending the Lake Granbury water group back-slapping and self-congratulatory meeting last Wednesday night, I suggest they set up a Revival Tent on the dry banks of Lake Granbury and begin weekly services.

CHEERS to Brawner Intermediate for taking the 4th grade class to Austin to the State Capitol and the Texas State Cemetery.… Read the rest

Texas is one of the only states that has a growing economy. Our governor and overwhelmingly conservative legislature is doing things the right way, if the rest of the country would try to do the same as Texas we would actually be in a recovery.

Cheers to the nursing staff in the OBGYN section of Lake Granbury Medical Center, especially Tracie and Kurstin. My stay there was wonderful.

Stop breeding pitbulls. Life of a PB in one sentence: Get a puppy for guarding house, put in backyard, no socializing, no training, gets larger (hmmm) can’t control him/her or bites someone, give away to anyone or gets dumped, new owner brings to AC to be euthanized.… Read the rest

If you want gun control so bad why don’t you just move to Chicago, Washington DC, or New York? Gun control does nothing but create crime and if you don’t believe me look at the FBI statistics.

So someone thinks that since we will soon be allowed to legally carry on college campuses all the sudden frat parties are gonna become shooting galleries!… Read the rest

HCNews once again missed the boat to showcase the tremendous Fine Arts program at Granbury High School. Huge front page pictures of a basketball play. Really? The production of Beauty and the Beast this weekend was tremendous, but only “rated” a small picture and note at the back of the publication.

Gotta say your paper finally gave me a smile. Your guest columnist wrote “I read the comics, the horoscope section, the weather, and the woes of others in the Dear “help me out” advice column” None of these are in the HCNews so I guess she reads another paper.… Read the rest
