    Notice the sign on the store on the left “Ernie Raabe for Sherrif. He cares. He knows.” So, I googled Ernie. Found a funny article from the Free-Lance Star in Texas titled “Instant Action” about Ernie, some teens, and golf carts.

    Also, notice that the building that is the centerpiece is the recent victim of a fire.

    That’s the Town Pump on the left. Blues on Friday, C&W on Sat. or vice-a-versa. Possibly the same musicians both nights. Heroine abusers and their dealers seven nights a week.
