The front of the house is accented at Chef Wang New Sichuan Cuisine.

The aesthetics of living puzzle me.

Texas Law Decriminalizes School Truancy

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | Jun 20th 2015

Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas has signed into law a measure to decriminalize unexcused absences and require school districts to put preventive measures into effect.

Truancy does not qualify as a crime.
It is the failure of the child to attend school.
The failure to attempt to educate children should qualify as a crime.
Curriculum should be regulated.
The politics of curriculum content are faith based.
Separation of faith and law is personal goal.

Never-Ending Construction Clamor

By RONDA KAYSEN | Jun 20th 2015

This week’s subjects include the din of endless construction; rules about unmarried couples sharing a co-op; and asbestos removal procedures.

There is not much that can be done beyond complaining.
"Make some noise of your own. Find out the status of the building permits by visiting the Department of Buildings website. If any have expired, report them to the Buildings Department or 311. You can also report excessive noise (even during permitted work hours), excessive construction debris and work done outside of permitted hours."

I want more than cohabitation.
Cohabitation is a start.
Sooner is better.  As soon as you can is best.
