Speeding in Country Place

I went fishing Sunday night. Didn’t catch any fish, but I always enjoy visiting with the neighbors I see there. I like sunsets and it was a nice one. I fished until after dark and was on my way home, driving about 25 mph on Big Timber when a deer ran right out in front of me. At that speed I was able to stop and when I did four other deer ran across, including a young buck. I don’t always drive the speed limit in Country Place. Sometimes I’m in a hurry. If I’d been in a hurry last night there’s a good chance I’d have either hit the deer or taken out the Rice’s mailbox. Folks, it’s easy to forget your speed. It’s human nature to bend the rules a bit. But our Country Place roads have too many blind spots, too many curves, and there are too many deer, dogs and kids for us to ignore the speed limits in here. Our son, Leo, dodged a dog on Three Lakes last spring and rolled his truck; he will carry the scars for the rest of his life.  And he was lucky. So let’s be careful out there. Try to leave a few minutes early for your appointment. Enjoy the scenery and keep our neighborhood safe.

Locking Gas Caps

On Monday night, someone stole gasoline from Ray White’s Chevy Tahoe (Ray lives on Great Oak Circle across from the Lakeshore intersection). At $3.50 a gallon, his tank of gas is worth over $100. Ray went out the next day and purchased a locking gas cap. If you park your vehicle outside the garage at night, be sure to follow Ray’s lead and invest in a locking gas cap.

Hickory Wood

All,

If anyone wants Hickory wood I have two trees which fell during the storm. One is LARGE (about 2.5″) and the other is smaller (about 1.25″)    They actually fell across onto the yard adjacent to me.

You can have the wood IF you come and cut it up, haul it off, and clean up the associated limbs, branches, etc with the trees. and can do so in a reasonable amount of time.  I am looking for a total clean up of these two trees . I can do the stumps, and the other trees, and debris.

 If no one is interested I will work on it myself and use the firewood.  I worked on them a little today but it will be next weekend before I get to do any more.  Please call my cell 903-767-3049.  (9 am- 9:00 pm)
