Winston Groom, the author of the novel “Forrest Gump” that was made into a six-Oscar winning 1994 movie that became a pop cultural phenomenon, has died.

Did anyone else see a green van or suv flipped over on Villa Maria yesterday? It was close to William J Bryan. I live close by and I never heard any sirens, but there were about 3-4 cop cars blocking the scene. Haven’t heard anything else about it ... I know I’m not crazy! Lol

It would seem that more importance should be placed on the Brazos Valley Health Department no longer tracking COVID hospitalizations. Wasn’t the goal of lockdowns, face masks, social distancing, etc... to keep the hospitals from being overwhelmed? Why is this data no longer being tracked? Has there been any thought to breaking down the positive Covid cases? Such as asymptotic? Only fatigue? Flulike symptoms (fever, aches, etc), and actual hospitalizations? That would seem to be more informative...
