Cracker Daddy loves him some Angela Hunt and thinks Dwayne Caraway is a pus-bag. Of course the city won't go with Plan B -- makes too much sense.

Hey - the comments on the DMN op-ed page are back. Magic & trickery.

ANGELa Hunt- the Angel of Dallas

If you substituted the odd white things for trees you'd have a great natural plan that would cost nothing. Hell, you could nearly get that done by getting 5 Eagle Scout projects to co-ordinate that shit. Plant 20 trees on the rise from the extra dirt from a couple of side ditches.

It's really hard to see how that would cost more than $100,000!

Chris, if we're talking about soccer fields all you do is mow the thing and pull any trees or debris to the side. There are many soccer fields that flood just as frequently. Of course the tendency is to build more and more elaborate amenities. Simple switchbacks on compacted roadbase would allow wheelchair access.

We can do so much if we'd do things incrementally, which is the natural process. We should encourage some Mexicans to go down and mow a soccer field clear for themselves. Let that pass for a month and we'd have Trinity bottom soccer leagues down there.

Except the city would never allow that. Maybe they should move the urban rodeo down there.

If Aussie rules were a legitimate sport El Rey I might agree. But, that is a bastardized abomination. If those guys want to play with a rugby ball on a field they can play rugby.

Cricket? Who has the time?

So I undrstand that building the tollway inside the levies is a bad idea. What I don't get is why building a park is a good idea. Won't the same potential floods just wash all this away? is there someting I am not getting?

"Aussie rules ... is a bastardized abomination."

You say that as if it were a bad thing.
