In Corpus Christi, there is one name everyone knows: Jim Lago. Jim is a native son, and has contacts throughout South Texas. He is involved in just about everything in the city. He is our local morning radio talk show host.

I used to listen to his show every morning on the way to work. Unfortunately, I now get to work just as his show comes on at 0530. But his web site is my home page on the computer at work. So, Jim, all those 0530 hits you get each morning are from my Firefox browser opening as I start the day.

I hesitate to write this just yet because nothing is confirmed. I got an email from Jim asking me to be on his show some time in the near future. I replied in the affirmative. He left me a phone message today, but I was out in the yard doing manly chores involving power implements. Unfortunately, 1440 KEYS doesn’t stream audio, so unless you live on the Coastal Bend, you won’t be able to hear me make a fool of myself.

I did a few searches and found three other blogs in Corpus Christi. According to registration on globeofblogs.com, there are 532 blogs in Texas, but no way to tell which are in Corpus. I managed to locate two in town through technorati. Both are students here at the Island University. Found one other through Google, a young lady who does web work for the local paper. No luck locating any others through searches. That isn’t a big surprise, as mine didn’t show up in searches, either. Any ideas out there?

So, perhaps I’ll get the chance to open up this sleepy little town of 275,000 to the world of blogs. Could be a revolution in local politics!
