KCBD Visits Us Again
Every summer KCBD-TV out of Lubbock does something they call their Community Coverage Tour, which involves traveling to some of the surrounding towns in their viewing area and broadcasting the 6 and 10 o’clock news segments from a popular location within each town...
The Gunsmith
When I stopped to pick up the two pistols that David Wyer had repaired and cleaned for Bill, I was amazed and fascinated as I walked into the old, nondescript building with the capital W on the outside front wall. I caught Dr. Wyer working at one of the many machines...
Second Wave of Wildflowers
Trip buddy Pat Angeley arrived right on time. We were looking forward to the second wave of wildflowers in the Hill Country, myself having enjoyed the blue bonnets earlier. Bland overcast skies followed us, which kept me from wanting to stop every five minutes to take...

I treated myself to a movie the other night and decided on Kingsman; The Secret Service, and I have to admit, was thoroughly entertained despite the f-word being thrown about with wild abandon and stylized brawling and killing the order of the day. But the f-word got...
The Grammys Meet The Emperor’s New Clothes
I can’t remember the last time I watched the Grammys. When rap took over, and even before that, really, I lost interest in music that sounded less and less like actual music, the performers didn’t dress for the occasion, and the choreography consisted of grabbing a...
American Sniper-My Turn
Since American Sniper is making money hand over fist, generating much comment, and giving the talking heads fodder for arguing their political views, we went to see what all the brouhaha is about. I am not rich or famous, so my opinion won’t show up on MSN or make the...
