I’d heard there was a marsh fire out east, but we didn’t smell anything until Monday morning. By the time I left for work, I was surprised to see the streets of Mid-City were shrouded in gray smokey haze. It was bad enough that I wore a bandana over my face as I rode to [...]
Yesterday a store in the Carrollton Shopping Center caught fire. My office is across the street. My co-worker Janice noticed the smoke first, but thought her glasses were dirty.

A homeless man has taken up residence on campus, just inside the fence that borders the on-ramp to I-10.
This just happened outside my office window about five minutes ago.
