Those stately greenheads may be the flashiest of all the ducks on the pond, but blue-winged teal always grab the most attention with Texas’ early bird waterfowl crowds. The bell is ringing especially loud these days. The statewide early teal season in Texas got underway at 30 minutes before sunrise on Sept. 14. The season runs for 16 consecutive days through Sept. 29. Teal are always the first migrant ducks to pass through Texas each fall and the last to trek north in spring.

Mexicans will go to the polls on June 2, 2024, to pick a president following an election campaign marred by violence and divisive political rhetoric. Polls suggest that ruling party candidate Claudia Sheinbaum will win, holding off rival Xóchitl Gálvez, who heads up a left-right coalition. Unpredictability over the size of the turnout may remain a factor, but barring any major shocks, Mexico will have its first woman president when all the votes are counted.

As awful as Watford’s form has been, we are still only 3 points off playoffs (the teams above have games in hand, but by and large tough ones). A point or more at Middlesbrough and a win against Luton, and we could back in the running. Better than most hoped at start of season.
You beauty, Louza!!!! COME ON YOU ‘ORNS!!!!!!! #watfordfc
