I’ve hit a ‘dry spell!’ There’s absolutely nothing I can think of that would be interesting. Enough of the weather. We all know what’s going on in the world, the good, bad and ugly! It’s hot and the world is in turmoil!
Still have my two grand dogs! The last time I talked to Happy, my son, no mention of when they would be getting them.
Look, Up in the Sky!...
If you were driving recently in picturesque Palo Duro Canyon, don’t think the high elevation was getting to you, hallucination had begun or that your eyes were in trick mode.
Pshaw, it really may have been a 103-year-old man zooming down the zipline. More specifically, it may have been Elvin Howell from the Carillon LifeCare Community in Lubbock.
The able-bodied centenarian wasn’t alone.
It was another quiet week at Art and we like it like that.
I survived a day of tax free weekend. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. The crowds were medium, not huge. Of course, I chose the stores and tried to stay out of stores teens like.
The Art United Methodist Church will have the blessing of the backpacks on August 20th.

Last week Mason County News published the School Supply List for Mason Elementary and Mason Junior High.
You can probably find most of these items at Dollar General.
Anyway, I was so intrigued I just couldn’t put it down.
The list began with Pre-K.
One large box of crayons.
How Many Things Can You Really Do?
Every summer, the kids of Mason County leave the halls of school and head home. That first night, they dream of their "freedom" and they mentally catalogue all their plans for the next three months. And then, on their first morning after school, they sleep until noon.
When we were kids, summer vacation really didn't mean too much.
City Priorities
Many thoughts have crossed my mind since I became commissioner for my district (2). We have many projects going on around our community, our city staff is working hard on our projects. I would like to thank all of our city staff for working hard and keeping things going, I appreciate each and everyone of you.
With that in mind, I would like to hit on a subject that is a concern of mine.
It’s not too late for kiddos who love to color to enter our Back-to-School Coloring Contest. Pre-K to Grade 1 and Grades 2-5 will be judged in two separate groups. Ribbons and cash prizes will be given for first, second, and third places. Color sheets may be picked up in the library; they are due by closing time tomorrow.

Turkey in the str . . . store
What I’d planned to do, see, was to write a column about Bob Tallinger. Bob was a greeter at a Wal-Mart store in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
Was. Bob got fired. Because of a turkey.
It happened like this: Bob was at the door of the Wal-Mart, doing his job, greeting folks as they came in.
It’s just the first part of August, and I’m already getting catalogs with Winter stuff. I break out in a sweat just thumbing through the pages. It maybe getting cool in some parts, but not in Texas. Even on some of our coldest days, these items are way to much for our Texas Climate!
I haven’t smelt that Fall in the air yet, and don’t expect to till maybe November.
Dump the Ump?...
I take no joy in alleging the shortcomings of others. On land or sea, I typically choose “fluffy” topics devoid of controversy. My intent is to provide gentle humor for all readers, despite their station, religion and/or political leaning.
On land, I wouldn’t join troops risking entanglements “through the briars and the brambles where a rabbit wouldn’t go.” On the sea, while others joust with the bad guys and/or creatures of the deep, I’m “scrunched down,
