An electric service company, Milestone Electric, has popped up in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex within the past few years.

It has grown into a large company. And it must have an enormous marketing budget because of its many TV and radio ads.

Yesterday afternoon, I was driving east on Northwest Highway near the Buckner exit. Two ladies in a small car had a flat tire and had pulled off of the road.

The big Milestone Electric truck was parked in front of them, and the uniformed electrician was changing their tire.

My guess is that a lot of those of us drove by and saw that act of good citizenship will use Milestone in the future, who might not have as a result of having seen and heard their TV and radio ads. I'm one of them.

NO FLAG FLYING

I was a child when the U.S. wondered if it would remain free. World War II was raging, and everyone was pretty scared.

Many of my friends’ dads were in Europe fighting for our freedom. Some came home injured. Some came home dead.

From our parents to our school teachers to our ministers to our parents’ friends, patriotism was taught to us and continually reinforced.

It has stuck with me.

For an example, I have never owned a home where I didn’t fly the American flag, and I never will.

Our flag stays up day and night, but we follow the proper procedure -- keeping it lighted after sundown.

I put my hand over my heart when I say the "Pledge of Allegiance" and sing the "Star Spangled Banner."

Back then, U.S. Government buildings always flew flags. Brand spanking new ones.

And every morning one of the employees raised that building's flag, and every evening before sundown, one of the employees took the flag down, and it was then properly folded.

Today, I noted that the postal substation I usually use had a faded, tattered flag flying. Its main station had a naked flag pole, no flag flying at all.

Bad enough that bunch is losing money right and left, but there is no excuse for it being lax on flag etiquette.

If the person in charge worked for me, today would have been his last day.

Aboca's Italian Grill - North Dallas - Dallas, Texas

Aboca's Italian Grill

Aboca's Italian Grill has done it again! They recently opened a second location on the Northwest corner of Meadow Road and Central Expressway in North Dallas. You will find the same delicious food, enjoyed at the original Aboca's on the Southwest corner of Belt Line Road and Central Expressway in Richardson.

After dining with friends at the Richardson location last weekend and enjoying the "over the top" Osso Bucco and Tiramisu, we decided to branch out and try the new location on Monday evening. We ordered pizza with fresh mozzarella and Italian sausage. I was pleasantly surprised that the largest pizza, with two special toppings, was less than $17.00. A near-by competitor charges nearly $30 for the same pizza. We shared the house made Strawberry Cake and Italian Cream Cake, as we already knew the Chocoholic Cake and the Tiramisu were beyond delicious. We were not disappointed.

Remember to bring your favorite bottle of wine. There is a small uncorking fee for each person served. If you are interested in Osso Bucco and Tiramisu, it is best to call ahead and preorder the items.

On Friday and Saturday evenings, reservations are suggested. Saturday evening, the Richardson location was packed at 6:30, with people waiting in line, outside the door.
