Agenda for January 10th meeting

The agenda for the upcoming meeting of the Woodway City Council (Monday, January 10th) has been posted at the City's website here.

Job openings and meetings in Woodway

Looking through the City's website, I found two possibly interesting things. Job openings in the City of Woodway (currently two) are posted here. Also, meetings of the City Council and the various Boards are listed here.

the lunar eclipse from Woodway

It was a hazy night, and these photos were taken with a standard digital camera without any telescopic equipment. At full eclispe, the moon's image was too faint for my camera to pick up well, since it does not have good shutter speed control.

A great gift idea...

I am trying to spread the word about the most wonderful stories, done in full radio drama style and available very inexpensively. I'm referring to The Chronicles of Narnia audiodrama on CD. This is no boring listen-to-someone-read-a-story, instead you have a full cast of actors, sound effects, music and narration. You have to listen here to appreciate what I'm talking about, which is also where you order. The quality is stunning, but the price is almost as amazing. The set is comprised of 19 CDs (22 hours) for only $19.99. Unlike the recent Narnia movies, this audiodrama version is very faithful to the original books. It is the perfect gift, especially for someone who does a lot of driving. You might find a set locally at Mardel. I also try to keep some around, feel free to contact me (chuckimgarner@gmail.com).

Speeding fines in Woodway

You might be interested to know that speeding fines in Woodway start at $148 ($173 in a school zone). The list of fines can be found here; scroll down to the tables. I'm glad to say that I don't know these numbers from personal experience... but being pulled over on I-35 near New Braunfels last weekend ($116 + defensive driving class) got me thinking about the local fines.
