Decatur gets "Bum Steer" award
from Texas Monthly Magazine


BUM STEER – Decatur has been given a “Bum Steer” award by Texas Monthly magazine. On page 84 of the January issue, the magazine states “An exercise to test Decatur’s preparedness for swine flu outbreaks was canceled because of concerns over actual swine flu outbreaks.” The event the magazine refers to was actually a pandemic flu exercise conducted by the Cities Readiness Initiative that was canceled in May when fears about swine flu were at their peak.

Yeah....but it sounds better if the event was canceled due to swine flu fears.

I like Texas Monthly but I can't stand Kinky Freidman. Does he still write for them?

Way behind Denny. There were actually TWO of the awards and Barry's had the photos posted since this morning.

I'm not in race with Barry's blog, or any media outlet for that matter, but thanks for your concern...

I can't compete with The Deity's blogging skills, please bear that in mind when criticizing...

Another difference in this blog and the liberal is that this author also works.
