A new chapter
I am new to Victoria and will blog about my recent move. I just graduated in May from Texas A&M University-Kingsville. I have never been to Victoria and the recent move has been interesting. Stay tuned for more about how I adjust to my new job and the new area.

Visit to the Valley

I was at home this past weekend and astonished to see that many areas are still under water. The current rainfall in the valley has just added to the damage done by hurricane Dolly. It seems to me the valley just can’t catch a break. My mother and many other residents have to cut their yards every time the rain lets up (like once a week). And bug spray seems to be the new perfume. All the mosquitoes and standing water has many people opting to stay indoors. I think we’re really lucky to have some run but not as much as the valley. The rain in the valley is keeping me away and in Victoria for the weekend.

Thanks for the help. I think my families biggest problem is mosquitoes. I'll let them know to contact the Health Department.

I have family that lives in the Valley (Mission) as well. They say that they have gotten more rain in the weeks following Dolly than actually from Dolly. If your family has issues with standing water and mosquitoes, they can go to the Health Department and request some poison that looks like a donut. I’m sorry but I don’t remember the name of it.
