Every week, we present data in a patently unfair format, comparing apples to oranges, as it
were, in order to arbitrarily make a point. This week: Outfitter and Can-Ban advocate (you read
that right) Matthew Hoyt is attempting to convince the City to install video cameras at the Comal
rivers Last Public Exit in order to modify the behavior of river visitors.
Hoyt believes that the presence of cameras will result in a reduction of undesirable behavior.
For the purposes of this weeks charts, well work from the unsubstantiated premise that 1% of river
visitors engage in some sort of indecent exposure as defined by law. Heres what that looks like:

PRICKLY PEAR
BAR
Last Thursday, Miss TX Citizen brought out the official TX Citizen Giant Scissors for the christening of the NEW Prickly Pear Bar at the Ramada Inn on Business
35. If you haven't been to the Pear in last month, you haven't been to the Pear! Newly expanded and fully remodeled, with lots of natural light, the place feels
like it's doubled in size. Make your plans now for Cinco de Mayo, as Taco Palenque and the TX Citizen bring you the Texas National Taco Eating Championships,
LIVE at the NEW Prickly Pear Bar!
Note: That incredible homemade ribbon was crafted from actual cash, and donated to Emily's Elves for their annual toy drive!
AROUND &ABOUT
Every year, the folks at Oma Gruene's Secret Garten pull out every last stop
for a li'l something called "Hair and Hearts"! Bands come to play, people
from all over the state come to enjoy the festivities, and stylists from Blinder's
Hair Salon set up shop and harvest ponytails from generous owners of long
hair. That hair, and a whole bunch of cash, is then donated to Pink Heart
Funds for the benefit of folks undergoing chemotherapy. This year's take:
Over 100 ponytails and 6,000 US dollars! Well done, y'all!
