About McLennan County, TX

Next Wednesday, July 22 at 10:30 a.m, I am being arrested! Some police officers are going to come to my Keller Williams office and take me out in handcuffs.

No I am not psychic. The reason I know this is going to happen is because I am participating in the Lockup for MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association). Several people from my office are participating. We get "arrested". Jail is La Fiesta, a great local Mexican restuarant. They serve us lunch, then we have to raise "bail", donationS for MDA. They have set our goal at $1600 a person.

I'm sure you are all aware of the MDA Telethon Jerry Lewis has every Labor Day, and the wonderful work they do with the money they raise. If you have had a successful year and have money to give, this is a very worthy cause.

To make a donation pledge to my bail fund, Or just to learn more, visit my personal lock-up page at www.joinmda.org/2009Waco/Realestate or email at Realestate@joinMDA.org.

OR JUST BAKE ME A CAKE WITH A FILE IN IT!

There are many new and exciting things happening in the Waco area, but there are 2 things that I find particularly exciting. Space X and the Mammoth Site.

In the past couple of days, the Waco Trib has written 2 articles, each about these 2 extraordinary places:

"Mammoth site moves closer to national monument status"

"McGregor's SpaceX competing with Alabama company for $150 million in funding"

Space X—Right in our own backyard in McGregor TX is Space X test facility.

The Waco Tribune, Mike Copeland discussed the fight for stimulus funds that could greatly increase the size and mission of Space X. Very interesting reading.

I visited Space X yesterday while they tested a rocket. Was a very powerful site that made me really appreciate the importance and potential coming from this company.

For anyone that is unaware of who or what Space X is. I highly encourage you to visit their website. If that doesn’t fascinate or excite you, I don’t know what will.

www.SpaceX.com

Mammoth Site—Inside the city limits right off of Steinbeck Bend is developing into what could be one of the most interesting places ever. Headed towards National Park Status, this place is nothing to take lightly.

According to WacoMammoth.Org, “The Waco Mammoth Site is the largest known concentration of prehistoric mammoth elephants dying from the same event."

Fascinating, isn't it? I sure think it is. I can't wait to see what the future holds.

Waco is full of great surprises. Whether you live here or just want to visit, Waco is a great place to be.
