On Tuesday during the cold, yucky sleet I went to Buda Drugs to pick up a prescription. While there I left my headlights on and my battery died. YUCK. The pharmacist was very busy, but also very concerned about my plight. She suggested that I walk down a couple of stores to the Economic Development Corporation [EDC] to see if anyone there could give me a boost. Janet at the front desk wasn’t able to (no booster cables), but called Pat and Justin at KPD sign company at the end of the block. Within 3 minutes of finding out that my battery was dead several people got involved to help me out and I was on the road again.

What a wonderful testament to small town life where everyone knows everyone else and cares about one another. Buda/Kyle is a GREAT place to live.
