Sunday ninety nine point one, Houston's best variety of the eighties,
nineties and today. This is our feel good Friday show,
The Three Things You Need to Know to get your
Friday April eleventh, started on Dana with producer Anthony. What
are you looking for in the City of Houston. Well,
there's a new U of h poll asking us what
we really want. Almost fifty percent said we want better
(00:23):
roads and streets, forty one percent set a reduction in crime,
thirty seven percent said reduction in traffic, and thirty one
percent said reduce the high cost of housing. Now, forty
one percent in this survey said the quality of life
has gotten worse than the last year by forty seven percent. However,
say it stayed about the same.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Well, with the.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Real ID deadline approaching in May seventh, you all need
it to enter any federal government buildings, boarding, domestic flights,
and regular lines at the DMV have been growing and growing.
As a matter of fact, you've actually got to set
up a reservation. Some areas of the state, the waittime
sixty days. In Houston, it's just under twenty days. In Conroe,
(01:10):
it's the least wait time only fourteen days now. You
can still use your regular driver's license or state based
things like banking, driving, and voting. And some Texas senators
have introduced a bill to get this Space Shuttle Discovery
back to Houston.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It's currently in Virginia.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
This new bill would get it back to Johnson's Space Center,
and it was supposed to be there and be on display,
but for some reason it never happened. The weather today, beautiful,
sunny today. Actually through the weekend and right through next
week it's going to be sunny.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
We'll go up to eighty.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Eight right now, sixty two in uptown, and you're up
to date on sunny.
Speaker 2 (01:51):

Brought to us by our friends at Goodwill Houston. Well,
the Art Card Parade Parades Downtown starts at Dallas and
Bagbee at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. One of the entries,

She has transformed it's not a car, it's not a train,
it's a plane. Does she transformed this old plane into
a colorful work of art. Really is beautiful. It's entitled
Flying High. She teamed up with her dad on this
project and he is so excited to help. His name
(02:46):
is Lou and he couldn't wait to get started when
he learned her idea. She bought the plane from Facebook marketplanes.
Oh my gosh, right, and she then set out to
design what her ideas were. And he is there, Dad,
Lou is there to help her every step of the way.
So it's a totally free event. It's going to be amazing.

But she's not the only one with a very unique entry.
There's another artist, but this one is only nine years old.
His name is Lincoln Still and he is entering a boat.
Well it's actually a volkswagon boat and it's called body
mcboat Face. And see his dad, Justin Now he's Lincoln
(03:29):
is the designer.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Justin just kind of builds what he designs.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
And this body mcboat face is filled with paint and
glitter and imagination and Justin even offers inspiration.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Now, remember He's only nine years old.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
He says, if you ever want to give up, never,
never give up.
Speaker 2 (03:51):

of fun.

my mom getting her permanent teeth on Monday. She's almost
eighty nine years old and an incredible doctor, Landry, who

When they come to you for the little things, it
warms your heart.
Speaker 2 (06:26):

Speaker 1 (06:27):
What do you think it is about you, Maria that
makes them want to connect? I try to understand them.

I don't you know, judge the kids. I just you know,
lend in the.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Air, and that's sometimes that's all they need.

All true, such a great thing. Are you are you
a mom? Do you have kids? I am a mom.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I have two kids. I have a twenty year old
and a twenty seven year old, so you're used to
that connection, right, you know, yes, yes, you know.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I always made sure that I had open lines of
communications with my girls, something I didn't have with my mom.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
So I made sure, you know, I.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Just stay open when the kiddo's approached me. Maria.

Yes, the other day we helped one of our neighbors,
our capture dog in our neighborhood. The dog was running
around loose all over the place, even came up to
our puppy kiss her and oh, where's your mom? Where's
your dad? And so we're looking on our page and
there it is.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
My doll got up.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
We called her and she's like, my husband's his way
to pick her up. Like, okay, great, where are you guys? Like,
we're right there by the park, by the playground, Like okay,
well we are too. This is where your dog is
at him.

mama dog, you know, the owner. So and somebody said
they're looking for him somewhere, and I'm like, okay, let's
check her neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (08:51):

It was the smart move, but really that's a good
