State officials found several credit card skimmers Tuesday at a gas station near Round Rock.
The Texas Department of Agriculture found skimming devices on four gas station pumps at the Brushy Creek Market, 17251 Great Oaks Drive, just west of Round Rock.
Law enforcement have since removed the devices.
Local police have been warning people through social media to be wary of credit card skimmers as more are found installed on gas pumps in the Central Texas area. In May, the Round Rock Police Department offered tips to look out for skimmers.

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” ― Mark Twain (A discussion of this quote’s possibly-erroneous attribution to Twain can be found here.)
“The Little Boy and the Old Man Said the little boy, “Sometimes I drop my spoon.”
Said the old man, “I do that too.”
The little boy whispered, “I wet my pants.”
I do that too,” laughed the little old man.
Said the little boy, “I often cry.”
The old man nodded, “So do I.”
But worst of all,” said the boy, “it seems
Grown-ups don’t pay attention to me.”
And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand.
I know what you mean,” said the little old man.”
― Shel Silverstein

“I, Robert E. Lee of Lexington, Virginia do solemn, in the presence of Almighty God, that I will henceforth faithfully support, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, the Union of the States thereafter, and that I will, in like manner, abide by and faithful support all laws and proclamations which have been made during the existing rebellion with reference to the emancipation of slaves, so help me God.” ~ Amnesty oath to the United States (2 October 1865)
Madam, don’t bring up your sons to detest the United States government. Recollect that we form one country now. Abandon all these local animosities, and make your sons Americans. ~ Advice to a Confederate widow who expressed animosity towards the northern U.S. after the end of the American Civil War, as quoted in The Life and Campaigns of General Lee (1875) by Edward Lee Childe, p. 331. Also quoted in “Will Confederate Heritage Advocates Take Robert E. Lee’s Advice?” (July 2014), by Brooks D. Simpson, Crossroads, WordPress. This quote is sometimes paraphrased as: “Madam, do not train up your children in hostility to the government of the United States. Remember, we are all one country now. Dismiss from your mind all sectional feeling, and bring them up to be Americans.”

And the exits which are clearly marked are for you to walk out of as I stand this ground without compromise.” ~ 1996 GOP presidential nominee Bob Dole’s remarks at his convention (Text of Robert Dole’s Speech To The Republican National Convention, August 15, 1996)

SIGNOFF QUOTE[s]:
“In April, [John Kelly] said…: ‘If lawmakers do not like the laws they’ve passed and we are charged to enforce, then they should have the courage and skill to change the laws. Otherwise they should shut up and support the men and women on the front lines.’ ’’…
“…There is … reason to find [John Kelly’s] appointment depressing. It contributes to the continuing decay of American civil-military relations. Those of us who were relieved to see James Mattis as secretary of defense, H. R. McMaster as national-security adviser, and Kelly himself as secretary of Homeland Security, felt that way partly out of appreciation for the virtues of all three men, but also, very largely, out of relief that their sanity might contain their boss’s craziness. But it is inappropriateto have so many generals in policy-making positions; it is profoundly wrong to have a president regard the military as a constituency, and it is corrupting to have the Republican Party, such as it is, act as though generals have if not a monopoly then at least dominant market share in the qualities of executive ability and patriotism. It is unwise to have higher-level positions in the hands of officials who have openly expressed disdain for Congress—now a dangerously weak branch of government.

“All empires fall, eventually. But why? It’s not for lack of power. In fact, it seems to be the opposite. Their power lulls them into comfort. They become undisciplined. Those who had to earn power are replaced by those who have known nothing else. Who have no comprehension of the need to rise above base desires.” ~ Max Barry, from his book “Lexicon”(page 311, Penguin, 2014 – Fiction – 390 pages)
