Good Morning and Happy Wednesday! ☀️
It's October 21st, and today we're going Back to the Future! 🚗⚡
On this date in the 1989 movie Back to the Future Part II, Marty McFly and Doc Brown traveled all the way to October 21, 2015. Hard to believe that the "future" they visited is now 11 years in our past! Where's that flying car we were promised?
And if time travel makes you hungry, you're in luck! Today is also International Nacho Day! 🧀🌶️ Legend has it that nachos were invented in 1943 by Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya in Mexico. Now that's one invention we're glad made it into the future!
So grab some nachos, enjoy a little nostalgia, and make the most of today. No DeLorean required!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Baytown Woman's Years of
Concerns Over Leaning Power
Poles Finally Get Attention
For years, 81-year-old Joyce Pennington has worried about leaning power poles along Goss Road in Baytown, including one in her front yard.
Pennington, who has lived in the neighborhood for 50 years, says she and her neighbors have repeatedly contacted CenterPoint Energy about the poles without getting results.
After a local television station contacted CenterPoint on Monday, October 19th, crews arrived to inspect the poles. The company says it is assessing whether additional action is needed.
Watch the video below to hear Pennington's story and see the conditions that have concerned residents.
