  Trucking Accidents In Texas While most Texans are still financially recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and the crippling winter storm, a group of Texas legislators are trying to pass sweeping new laws that will benefit big trucking companies and commercial insurance carriers.  Texas House Bill 19 and Texas Senate Bill 207 will go into committee meetings starting Tuesday, March 9, 2021 at the Texas Capital and are written to benefit big trucking and insurance companies, while shifting trucking liability to individual consumers. All Texas drivers will pay higher insurance premiums for their automotive policies. Their personal medical insurance will rise as well. The proposed legislation is set to go into effect September 1, 2021.  “House Bill 19 is a disaster for Texans,” said Austin Injury Attorney Thomas J. Henry. “Texas already leads the nation in trucking accident injuries and deaths. By allowing trucking companies to avoid accountability, our state legislators are making Tex

Gerard Senehi   Mentalist superstar, motivational speaker, corporate entertainer and entrepreneur Gerard Senehi is an amazing person to be around any way you slice it. Recognized internationally as “The Experimentalist,” he is also difficult to define and defies all categories, evoking mystery and inspiring audiences to be open about questioning their ideas and beliefs.  At the same time, he creates a captivating environment where audience members can reimagine their ideas of what’s achievable, all the while challenging them to explore possibilities beyond the imagined boundaries. Senehi first became fascinated by the supernatural at the age of 10 when his friends were drawing cards from a deck and he was able to correctly predict four in a row.   Born in Paris and raised in Switzerland, he became even more enamored with the mysteries of the unknown not long after when his mother had a dream one night about a friend of hers accidentally catching herself on fire that actually occurred.

  James Edstrom With Nurse Tracy I got my Covid 19 shot on Sunday at Mount Sinai hospital on 101st street in Manhattan. Tracy the nurse was wonderful as was the whole staff.  I urge anyone that can get the vaccine to do it now. The more people that are vaccinated the faster we will get back to normal life. So far no side effects, which is great. I get the second shot on March 15th which I am looking forward too. There is something about getting the vaccine that gives you a sense of power. You feel that maybe you are beating this horrible virus. We will all have to continue to wear masks for a while and practice social distancing, but this adds a extra layer of protection till we can beat this. Many people I speak too are very scared to get the shot. Many say they will not get the vaccine. I urge everyone to get the shot in the arm, it could save you and it could save someone in your family. This is the only way we will get to herd immunity if we can at least get close to 80% of the cou
