I read a lot of stuff concerning resident complaints about the live music. Somewhere there has to be a quality of life compromise. Dispatching APD to respond to noise complaints is the wrong idea. APD is out to buzz kill anyone.

Texas Monthly The national media is just catching up to what readers of Texas Monthly
have known for quite some time: That Fort Hood is a microcosm of all
the problems facing soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan—and facing
the awful aftermath of war as well.

Killeen Shoemaker, in the shadow of Fort Hood, is ground zero for the home front, a school where hundreds of students have parents who are deployed in Iraq and fear of death and danger is part of everyday life.

By this spring, nearly 40,000 troops will have been deployed to Iraq from Fort Hood. For the military spouses left behind, time passes. They raise their kids, wait for breaking news, and pray whenever they hear a knock on the door.

Bud was a Texas legend and a phenomenon in his own right. His writing was outstanding. His fiction is among my favorites — read *Blessed McGill* and *Strange Peaches.* I was lucky to know him as a writer before I knew about his spectacular life and brushes with history.
