On September 21, the Mason Lions Club met at Nacho’s for their weekly meeting.
The Lions Club enthusiastically welcomed Roger Goose, guest of Bruce Lehmberg.
The speaker was our own Lion, Sheriff Joe Lancaster. Lion Joe spoke at length about the difficult situation on the southern border of Texas and the problems it is causing us here.

Last week, I discussed some of the interesting animals that appear in the seasonal wetlands known as vernal pools. This is an especially appropriate topic for this column, as our area of the Llano Uplift is well known for its diverse vernal pools. Several readers commented on last week’s article that they enjoy hiking each spring to the top of Enchanted Rock to see the isolated vernal pools there come to life.
Vernal pools may form in depressions of bare rock (as on Enchanted Rock), or in ...
I have written in the past about the problems caused by invasive exotic species, both plant and animal. Worldwide, invasive species are responsible for more native species extinction than any other cause, except for human “development”. Invasive exotic species crowd out native species without replacing the function our native species had in the habitat, not only displacing native vegetation, but also the animals that depended on them.

I have one of these really fancy bread machines, but have never been too impressed with the quality of the breads I’ve prepared in it. I decided to come up with a recipe that produced a better product, so I began to experiment. Since it takes 4 hours to make a loaf of bread in my machine, I got to spend a lot of time wondering just exactly how each loaf would turn out.
As I look back on the history of my family, I see myself at the end of a long line of country folks. When I look ahead to the future of my family, I see myself at the beginning of a short, but growing, line of city folks. As far as I know, all my ancestors had rural roots.
Welcome to Autumnal equinox, also called Fall equinox. One of the two equinoxes, when the Sun is exactly above the Equator and day and night are equal length. Fall equinox ends on December 21.
As we finally have a focus on finishing the Fall planting, I have to say due to the high temperatures and low moisture, I have delayed my seed planting.
Fall is here. Today is the day that fall arrives. With all the crazy weather we have endured in the past year, everyone is a bit skeptical of expecting a cool, wet fall day.
I had another eye surgery last Monday. My retina just doesn’t want to stay glued on. I am back in super-cautious mode.
You may not be ready to buy your first home, but that doesn’t mean you can’t prepare now. Here are three actions you can do while renting that will put you in a better position when you’re ready to buy.

After my mother’s funeral last February an old friend stuck an envelope in the inside breast pocket of my jacket and said, “Read this when you have time.” It was a diatribe aimed at our country’s government, written in desperation by a man who has worked hard for a lifetime and tried to instill the values of honesty, integrity, and patriotism in his children and grandchildren.
