Halloween Night (Saturday) is time for all of us to set our clocks and watches back one hour. Remember? FALL back!! Supposedly, that’s when we all get an extra hour of sleep, which was lost when we did the Spring Forward bit. Officially, the time for the change is Sunday morning at 2 o’clock. But, why wait?! No sense in getting up to make the changes...

Happy Birthday today to William (Bill) REITER. Today’s the day he turns 86 years young. The longtime Mexia geologist was in the Post Office, looking at “bouncy” as ever...

We’ll be thinking about Mellie Merle. Maybe we can have that party later...

The older I get, the more I appreciate it...

Dean and another representative came by to talk with Lee and with other “school folks” while representing Advance Financial Strategies, with offices in Waco and Austin. The firm, which helps school employees to plan their future financial situations, has offices in Waco and Austin while serving about 200 schools in Texas, according to Andrews. “We like to say we do educational presentations about the Texas Retirement System (TRS) of Texas,” Dean noted...

APHORISM: A short, pointed sentence expressing a wise or clever observation or a general truth. So, with this explanation in mind, let’s proceed with three APHORISMs:
*The nicest thing about the future is that it always starts tomorrow.
*Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail.
*If you don’t have a sense of humor, you probably don’t have any sense at all.
