Guest View writer Bink Grimes notes ongoing heavy rains nourish rivers and bays, aiding blue crab, oysters, shrimp, shad, and minnows.

Wanda Orton recalls Col. Juan Almonte of the Mexican Army who toured Texas before San Jacinto and ordered no fire to spare Burnet’s family.

Jim Finley recalls the 1965 Houston Astrodome opening, noting the giant electronic scoreboard, formal crowd attire, and a 2 1 Houston win over the New York Yankees led by Mickey Mantle's historic homer. He highlights LBJ in the owner's box and his long career covering Dome events from football to Elvis performances.
The note recalls the Lexington and Concord start of the American Revolution in 1775, MacArthur’s 1951 farewell to Congress, the Waco siege ending in 1993, and the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995. It also quotes Marie Dressler on cooperation and unity.
