Sunday ninety nine point one Dana in the Morning and
producer Anthony the Three Things you Need to Know to
get your Monday May nineteenth started. We were talking to
Anita earlier. She says when she has anxiety, she loves
to clean. She needs to sign up with the City
of Houston Public Works Department as they're getting ready to
clean up our city. Amazing anyway, Yeah, the city is
(00:22):
getting ready for the big World Cup, seven Super Bowl
sized World Cup games coming to h Town next summer.
Big cleanup project underway. We're working on the infrastructure. They've
got to find qualified personnel to do this big task.
They're going to be working on dilapidated homes and structures,
and they've got to light up the freeways. A lot
(00:43):
of lights are out and also get rid of some graffiti.
So good news there. Well, jeep weekend, it's wrapping up
along Bulivar Peninsula. Two hundred and seventy five arrests. But
let's put it into perspective. There were three hundred and
thirteen arrests last year. Police did promise to enhance present
all along the peninsula, and they did. Businesses are praising
(01:04):
law enforcement, saying they did what they said they were
going to do.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
They wouldn't tolerate misbehavior.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
There was no parking on Crystal Beach, no ATVs, no
glass containers, and more than five hundred and twenty officers
from sixteen agencies.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
We're out there patrolling the area.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
So great news and for the arrest, you know, didn't
need to be. But you guys are still joys. Right, Yeah,
still went down from last year. Weather today all right,
we've got this hazy sunshine again, going to go up
to ninety today.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Still that humidity is sticking around.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Tomorrow's high ninety six, but then the humidity's going to
start dropping tomorrow night, so hopefully it'll start feeling better.
Temperatures won't budge much. We're going to be in the
nineties right through the weekend again. Right now, it's seventy
eight and uptown and you're up to date from Sunday
ninety nine point one. Tell me something good brought to
us by our friends.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
At Goodwill Houston.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Well, I know our kids are getting ready for flag
football this summer, so this is a pretty cool story.
At this time, University of Texas at Arlington is making
history by announcing the addition of women's flag football as
a varsity sport. It's gonna happen the spring of twenty
twenty seven. Now we already have two Division three levels
(02:19):
schools playing flag football. This is a first Division one
level school. Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans. You know,
they have been helping with the explosive growth of girls
flag football across our state. As a matter of fact,
over two thousand girls are in flag football at the
high school level during a six week season, championship games
(02:40):
culminating this month in Houston.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Austin, and El Passo. Isn't that cool? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I love flag football. It's so much fun. Producer Anthony Dane,
This is really cool. We have a local VET who
are with a really awesome legacy. His name is Ralph Elbersia.
Born into elevenies immigrant family during the Depression. He's a
World War Two veteran and his daughter Sharon, is putting
together his inspiration into work with a book and it's
called Only a Penny. Sharon says she always wanted to
tell his story. It's one of profound poverty, how he
(03:06):
got where he is today. She says, Only a Penny
was basically his survival it meant everything to her dad,
a gallon of milk, a loaf of bread. When Ralph
was really young, he walked miles in downtown Houston selling
their bread that his mom would make for just pennies
and it meant literally everything. Ralph went off then to
serve as an Air Force corporal in World War Two,
then going off to UAH Law School where he would
continue to fight for those in need. It's a very
(03:26):
fascinating story of perseverance and one that may help you
find some inspiration yourself. You can find it pretty easy,
just google only a penny, it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
That sounds so good.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
That might be a nice picky up, you know, absolutely, Hey,
speaking of women in sports, U of H junior her
name and help me out with this. Moa sped Den Skield.
She is the third golfer in women's program in the
women's program history to make it to the NCAA Championship. Wow,
(03:56):
third golfer woman in history. She just missed the cut
last year with a long shot. She knew she could
do it this year and she did. She says, it's
so incredible. So congratulations Moa for your history making and
it's incredible. Yeah, We always have our tell Me Something

Houston's Best Variety, the eighties, nineties and Today, Dan in
the Morning and producer Anthony learned in our Nearly Impossible Question,
best way to deal with anxiety is to talk to people.
But that's not what we always do. Sometimes we find
our own strategies. Yeah, there's no one around, and we've
(04:40):
got Anita, very stressful job in administration. So, Anita, what's
your anxiety dealing strategy?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Clean? So, whether I'm at work or whether i'm I
usually am cleaning and organizing. I'm at the store, I
keep you thank that's kind of start for things that
need to be organized and scultured and clean.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
So you clean to to kind of de stress. What
do you do? What are you cleaning at work?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Well?
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Work, it's different because I'm usually going through files. I'm
a backup for document control.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Uh huh.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
So there's always projects in chemical we're out in the
in the plants, and so there's always projects going on
and documentation that's coming in an industry put in certain places,
and it doesn't always get put properly or labeled properly
or whatever. So I usually come through whatever the active
projects are and make sure things are right, make sure
the pictures are documented correctly. You know, it's busy work,
(05:41):
but I know it needs to be done and it
helps other people.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And anxiety.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
If you were to come into an office and you
saw a crooked picture on the wall, would you be
the one to fix it?
Speaker 5 (05:52):
There wouldn't be a crooked picture. Yeah. No, everything in
its place, Everything in its place, all the time. It
can never not be right. So can I be completely honest? Yeah.
I was in a pretty rough marriage, and so the
one thing that I could control was how clean my
(06:14):
home was. And so it got to the point where
you literally could like eat off my bathroom or it's
in the point because it was I just died with
all I knew. I couldn't get my energy out. I
wasn't really allowed to leave the house. He didn't want
me on the phone talking to anybody, so it was
just me and you know, then we started having kids,
so it was me and the kids, and so everything
(06:35):
was just very, very tidy all the time, and people thought, oh, wow,
she's a great wife, and I'm like, no, I'm a
nervous wreck. Oh but it's just.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Kind of even though I've been divorced for many many years,
too many years, I still that's kind of my go
to when I'm feeling overwhelmed, when I'm feeling I'm not
in control and things are just tight, I'm like, oh,
I need to put something away, I need to I feel.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Very I feel like I'm like you, I can totally relate.
I had a very tough dad and that's how I
kind of hoped that was the thing that I could control.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
So I get it.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
You know, people can hire you an to hire you really.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Though I am.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
It's funny because my family members are.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Like, oh my god, just can you please come to
my house.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
And I'm like, oh, I would love to get my
hands on your house that it would be so much better.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Right.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Let me start with.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Your let me start with your pantry, then I'll go
into your closet.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Right. It's a little it's a little too much at times.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
It's a listen, it's better than doing some other things.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Right, So at least you're cleaning, and that's a good
way of coping.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I love that. Thank you for sharing that. Anita so
