Texas: Clear Lake

You would think a place named Mark's Donuts would be more known for it's donuts, but Mark's Donuts on Clear Lake City Blvd one block east of Hwy 3 has some of the best breakfast tacos in Clear Lake. My favorite is the picadillo tacos, a combination of potatoes, ground beef, and just the right amount of Mexican spices. Tasty.

My second favorite is the pork tacos. And of course there are the usual assortment of donuts. If you are looking for a great, inexpensive breakfast, take a few minutes and visit Mark's Donuts. Tell them I sent you.

(They will probably look at you and ask Who?) :) ¡Buen apetito!

Nothing like a little mistake in reading a calendar to miss out on a candidate forum in your own district. City Councilman Mike Sullivan will be missing the forum for candidates of District E scheduled in Clear Lake this Saturday evening. Instead he will be down the street disco dancing at a Clear Lake Chamber event. (seriously, it is a disco dancing event.)

The forum has commitments from all candidates for Mayor and Wayne Garrison Sullivans opponent for City Council District E. Maybe Sullivan will make a grand entrance dressed in his disco duds at the last minute.

I'm not sure if Garrison has enough name recognition to beat Sullivan, but missing a candidate forum in your own district for disco dancing is just not cool unless you are John Travolta.

Congressman "Deer in the headlights" Pete Olson lost control of his town hall meeting in Clear Lake prompting the police to take the stage and give a stern warning to the crowd that he would clear the auditorium and end the meeting if order is not maintained. (The entire event was video taped. Coming soon.)

Oh....as predicted, signs were on the doors that said "NO VIDEO CAMERAS". They were not followed.

Olson seemed to enjoy reminding the crowd that we need to be respectful of each other, then bashing those in attendance who were not teabaggers with misinformation. It was as if he was poking a stick in the side of those with different opinions and enjoying it.
