Nearly all commerce/industry in this area are either refineries or refinery support service. Other than that, everything is pretty basic. Restaurants, malls, gas stations. Nothing spectacular. Anyway here are two pictures. I work at the refinery on the left side of the road.

My gator wrestling exploints made the unit news letter! This is the second time I have made the unit newsletter (the first time is when I started coaching soccer for a team of 12 years olds in the area). Check it out!

As many of you may know, this past Saturday I went to a gator wrestling competition. I went with the intention of spectating – what could be better than watching a bunch of rednecks get eaten up by  alligators. They were giving out free T-shirts, which is apparently a big deal around here. Devin and [...]

Beaumont now has a hookah cafe! It is down on college street in a small shopping center across from the hospital. #
Plan for saturday: alligator wrestling competition and then the southeast texas symphony orchestra. How is that for contrast? #
