The Pickle is no.
more Retired U.S. Rep. Jake Pickle, who represented Central Texas in Washington for more than 30 years, died early today at his home. He was 91.
Supporters of Republican Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn who gathered at an afternoon rally in which she announced her plans to run for governor observed a moment of silence in honor of Pickle.
Let's all bow our heads for a Pickle moment of silence. . . .
And for those of you that currently work at the
Pickle Research Campus, god bless you boys for figuring out a way to get them sliced and jarred lengthwise. You do good work.
