Photo: DeWitt Park on Columbus Day

By Howard B. Owens

For such a beautiful, unseasonably warm fall day, a holiday, it sure was quiet in Dewitt Park today.

I agree with your weather observation but I think it may have a lot to do with all the geese and the mess their leaving everywhere there. Reminds me of the other county owned park in bethany that we went to to enjoy the weather and see the foilage friday and enjoy a stroll just to find out that the gate is closed already well I have a disability and can't walk all the way same thing happened this last spring at dewitt went fishing opening day couldn't get in the dam place that day I also had an 83 year old frriend along so couldn't walk if I wanted to what a shame if your old or have a disability you can't enjoy things you help pay for maybe the county should get a little run down on the americans with disability's act.But a very pretty picture Howard.

Boy that looks like a slippery accident waiting to happen. Step carefully, don't run and jump from stone to stone. You already know that somewhere in the back of your mind but it merits repeating for almost all of us. I've busted my poor unsuspecting ass more than once and I didn't like it the least bit.

Columbus was a fraud. Only people who get the day off still love him. I still love him because Saint George the Dragon Slayer was declared a fraud a good while back. St Patrick can drive the snakes out of Ireland but Saint George is a fraud? What kind of bullshit is that? That's why I'm Occupying Austin, that and because I have nowhere else to go. "Down with very rich people pretending they are middle class job creators when they are neither." If tax cuts create jobs why haven't there been lots and lots of jobs created? It's because "Job Creators" is a Fox buzzword like the Occupy Wall Street crowd are "Mobs" and the Teabaggers are "Patriots". Whose side are you on? Whose side are you on?
