Holiday seasons are upon us
and parties will certainly be on
many of our faithful readers’
agendas I, The Doctor, am sure.
Faithful readers, here comes
the don’t drink and drive sermon
again! The holidays are a horri-
ble time to be killed in an auto-
mobile accident.
Think about it this way, if you
want to be able to eat too much
turkey, toss out the mountains of
trash that will accumulate, shop
until you drop and pay bills until
you have writers cramp ... DO
NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!
Every year you hear this from
me, The Doctor, and every year
folks have their holidays ruined
by those that just can’t listen and
insist on breaking the law.
Once you have found your-
selves out and drinking, call
someone to drive you home, do
it for your friends and families,
in Bobby Messina’s case, do it
for your creditors.
I will be compiling my Top 10
Lists for holiday partying and
will be canvasing the local
venues so that I can rank their
offerings for this year’s festivi-
ties so be watching and getting
out your note pads so that you
can make reservations early.
If you have a special event to
announce or a band that you
would like me to mention or
have some dirt on Messina, drop
me a line c/o The Boerne Star or
e-mail me at DoctorTRphd

Veterans Day is a special day.
Unlike Memorial Day, it is a time
to remember all veterans - both
living and dead - and their sacri-
fices. It should not be a day of
sadness, but a time of pride and
reflection on what veterans have
accomplished and the freedoms
they have protected.
Everyone is welcome to attend.
