It happened to me this morning as I took my ritual Sunday soak in the tub. That grand epiphany that comes to most naturalists, when we get a tiny glimpse into how all things in Nature cooperate to survive, reproduce, and carry on the progeny. Plants, in particular, evolved to be eaten. Not only do they share their leaves and branches but many produce edible delicacies for mankind and our four legged cousins, also birds, bees, butterflies, and other insects… even fish. Fruits, nuts, and berries are specifically tailored to meet the needs of these various creatures on a seasonal basis. For example, nuts contain fats that help the consumers of nuts through the winter. Nuts mature in the fall… Perfect!!

Without change there would be no butterflies It is time for change. As humans, we don’t like change but one thing is certain, change is inevitable.

Texas has long been a football state. One of the most successful Texas football dynasties, the Dallas Cowboys of the 1990s, stems from three players for the University of Arkansas and their 1964 championship season: Jerry Jones, Barry Switzer, and Jimmy Johnson.

No weekend T’storms for us this week. This week the rain chances are slim to none. It looks like a return to a more normal summer pattern. We’ll see some triple digits. However our soils are still moist from recent rains. Lakes and ponds are running brim full, so all is well in Texoma except for the fact that we must endure The Heat… and humidity. I am not looking forward to that.

The Sheriff’s Office received 128 calls for service the last two weeks. As this report is being written there were 22 inmates with seven being female in the Archer County Jail.

American History is filled with stories of men and women who stepped in at the right time. U. S. Rep. Wright Patman was one such figure. He represented Texas in Congress through some of the most difficult times the nation had faced. Through his work in Congress, Patman left an indelible mark on East Texas and the nation.
