Being in the communication business, specifically the community newspaper business, I get a little troubled when people say things like, “I didn’t know anything about that”, when it has been published in this newspaper, on The Pilot’s website, or on our Facebook Page.
Dear editor:
It looks like we’ve made it through another “thing” together.
Dear editor:
A number of months ago my wife joined a workout program at a place called Rising Tide. Last week I joined her.
Dear editor:
The 87th Legislative Session is underway in Austin, and due to COVID-19, things are a lot different. One of the things I will miss is the trip up to Austin for Aransas County Day at the Capitol. It may still happen in some form (maybe through a computer screen?), but it won’t be like past se…

Dear editor:
I’ll be the first one to criticize a local official if I believe it is warranted, but local officials are getting raked over the coals regarding the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines and there’s no reason for that.
On January 12, 2021, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) released results of the investigation generated by a complaint filed with TCEQ on November 3, 2020 by The Aransas Project (TAP). The TCEQ investigation found Steel Dynamics, LLC violated the Texas Water Code by beginni…

Is it just me, or does anyone else think fear is being used as a means to control our population? Can you say fear of being cancelled, or fear of anarchy or invasion?
Dear editor,
Dear editor:
Like everyone (hopefully), I was appalled by the actions of a very small percentage of demonstrators that descended on Washington, D.C. Wednesday, Jan. 6 and stormed the U.S. Capitol. Those who broke laws should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Dear editor:
I closed the office on Thursday and Friday the past two weeks to give my employees a much-needed rest.
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and I know we are all looking forward to a better New Year.
Dear editor:
That headline doesn’t have a very good ring to it, but hey, we have to deal with what’s in front of us.
Dear editor:
The year 2020 was a very tough year.
Dear editor:
Dear editor:
At this time of year I’m usually at my most relaxed, fresh off a 7-day anniversary cruise. It’s hard to believe what all has occurred in our world since last year at this time when I was in Hawaii (with my wife, of course) for our 35th anniversary.
Today is my 36th wedding anniversary. This is proof I did not forget the date, which, at least from what I always understood, is the one date a husband should never forget. I will admit, however, there is much more involved in a successful marriage than simply remembering a date. I’ve learne…
Dear editor,
The COVID-19 pandemic has completely altered our behaviors for all but three months this year, and half the population is mad, and the other half happy about the presidential results.

Dear editor:
The year 2020 will go down in history as one strange string of 365 days.
Dear editor:
Every four years I have to buy a new car. That means, the best our two-person Rockport home has at any one time is a brand new car and a four-year-old car. The worst (in terms of age of vehicles) is having a four-year-old car and an eight-year-old car.
Dear editor:
Turning 61 isn’t that bad, especially if one gets to fly to his birthplace (New Orleans) the day after a hurricane, and things, with some itinerary changes, work out.
Dear editor:
Depending when you read this, there are up to three days left of early voting in the Nov. 3 Election.
Dear editor:
Dear editor:
Reopening public places amid the COVID-19 pandemic should certainly be carried out with caution. Government offices are no exception.
This is an important local election year. We in Aransas County must be involved and vote on the three Propositions on our ballot. We also must be informed with the facts on both sides of the issue.
This page features two guest columns this week, along with a number of letters to the editor, so I’m going to be brief.
Dear editor:
The purpose of this column is to do two things. First, I want to provide you with accurate facts about the three upcoming bond issues to be voted on with the rest of ballot issues in the Nov. 3 election.
I must have been serious about not watching any NBA, MLB or NFL games. Like many millions of fans across the country, I’m not alone in my actions. Ratings are at an all-time low from what I understand.

Dear editor:
There were many things going on in Aransas County Monday, and this scribe didn’t have time to pen a column prior to deadline. There is a lot going on around us, and I encourage each of you to continue reading this newspaper, and even share it with friends who do not read it.
