Right up front let me say that in no way am I superstitious (knock-on-wood). I am the kind of person who believes in the practical side of life. One plus one equals two and that is the way I like to live my life. No common core math for me.
I don't like to propagate the idea that one place is more important than another.

They call our region Flash Flood Alley for a reason.
Water here can rise quickly and cut off escape routes, tear homes from foundations, and rip up even the sturdiest of trees and send them barreling downstream.
Lake Travis rose more than 50 feet in a day during a 1952 flash flood, and just last year Central Texas experienced deadly flooding on Memorial Day, then again over Halloween.
We don’t see those kinds of floods often, but when we do, the damage can be ca ...
My crack research department, Pat, has sent me several stories lately that would each make pretty good columns, if I were the Huffington Post. Fortunately for you, I’m not the Huffington Post. That’s fortunate for me, too, because I’d hate to live in Huffington.
But I mention HuffPost because one of the stories Pat sent me, which was written by Lee Moran and published by HuffPost, was entitled ‘Cat Endures 8-Mile Ride Stuck In Car Bumper, Walks Away Like It’s NBD.’ For those of you ...

SAN SABA—The Jackets were again superb—and the girls did well, too, in a nearby story—in the Armadillo Track & Field Meet, March 3, at Mill Pond Park.
The boys’ medal collection probably out-weighed a bag-full of discs and puts and maybe a javelin or two, if such an instrument were present at Texas track gatherings.
“It’s nice to get wins,” said head coach Craig Slaughter, but, “our goal is to get more seconds, thirds, and fourths {for points},” in the events.
SAN SABA—Kaymon Lange made it two triumphant Thursdays in a row, March 3, with a first in the triple jump and a second in the long jump. Not too much to get upset about in the silver lining as her 16 foot, 7-and-a-half inch effort is now her personal record.
Her 33 foot, two-and-a-half in the triple is not a PR, but it did beat all comers in the Armadillo Meet.
“Kaymon gets after it,” said assistant coach, Zach Duncan.
JOHNSON CITY—The visit here for a tournament, March 4-5, turned out better than the opening game on the new diamond—more on that later.
The softball Jackets played the host school in the opener and lost 8-5. Sydney Hicks drove in two runs with a single, and Kendall Wenzel stroked a two-run homer.
Catcher Kamri Thompson threw out a runner going to third and another one attempting to steal second.
Are you ready to learn more about a sustainable lifestyle? Want to know what others here in the area are doing? How about actually visiting a local homestead to see for yourself firsthand these concepts put into practice? The Back to Basics group at the Llano Library will make a variety of topics – and field trips – available each month so that you will have the opportunity to learn these valuable skills.
The next program will be “An Overview of Al Kelln's Homestead” from 10:00 a.m.
A no-hitter is a rarity, okay? Seven in the major leagues in close to 2,500 games in 2015. A triple play was even more shy: twice it happened in ’15. What are the odds for BOTH in the SAME DAY by the SAME team? 100,000-to-one? And Llano is that team!
Isn’t Hill Country Classic a proper name for the tournament, where the Jackets authored a pair of classics, Thursday, March 3.
