@JohnMcRaeII I strove for this ideal in my commands, and took it a step further: when subordinate commanders or staff asked me for decisions re issues they could have resolved, I took it as a signal there was a problem with training, confidence (subordinate), or communication (me).
Texas property tax reform and local governments who reject all ideas of limits to spending the money of other people; Legislative news & P. Bush update; Border & immigration news including an odd claim by a Texas Roman Catholic diocese + news of Texas, 5 to 7pm on Pratt on Texas.
@TheJackalopeTX @jamesdecker2006 Both of you should listen to “History of the world in 6 glasses.” by Tom Standage. It goes through coffee, wine, tea, beer, spirits and cola- where they originated and how we came to love them!

Programming note: Tomorrow on @OSTXshow, @brandondarby and I will host Ret. Col. @mbobstarr in-studio and hear about all the good work he’s been up to with @GlobalSamaritan... Then we’ll play Master Debaters, with Starr as the judge #sadDarby
Also, Woodard notes that cultural boundaries are almost always fuzzy, not sharp lines that can be drawn on maps. I think that’s the case in the Panhandle(s), where you can find individualism of Appalachia mixed with pragmatic moderation of the Midlands in varying degrees. https://t.co/5QrAg3S4YU
@jayleeson@mbobstarr That map irritates me every time it comes up. I'll never agree with the way it groups the northern edge of the Texas panhandle and the Oklahoma panhandle as different from the rest of the panhandle.
