It’s time to set the record straight. For many months the PAC, led by Jack Wright, has relentlessly and falsely attacked the Aransas County Navigation District (ACND). Frustrated by previous failures to get their selected candidates elected to other local entities, they then targeted the ACN…
To begin with, you are going to be surprised how this ends.

My older brother has a job, that pre-pandemic, required a lot of air travel in the United States. Since the beginning of 2020 he hasn’t done a lot of flying around the country, but this past weekend he called on his way home after leaving a Houston Airport. He had been gone all week to some …

It is said that it takes all kinds to make a world. And what a world it is. In this business, every time I think I have seen it all, I am proven wrong. It is common to encounter passengers who are seemingly lost or disoriented, irate passengers who unload on the hapless gate agent when a fli…

The issues at our southern border are huge, and if President Biden, his non-engaged Border Czar “Chameleon” Harris, every Democrat and Republican in the Washington bubble, and the actual citizens of our great country don’t start taking the issue seriously, we will pay a price from which we m…

I didn’t grow up playing soccer, and neither one of our two daughters showed a particular interest in the game. But today, my grandchildren are apparently into it.
Dear editor:
What a long, emotional, and love-filled week I just had. Daily trips to and from New Braunfels reminded me of the first few days after Hurricane Harvey. The daily drive was therapeutic this past week in the wake of my father’s death, just as it was after the storm.
