Speaking of singers, local snake-charmer Kyndra Lee was featured in an article in the Los Angeles Times. Rattlesnake Republic superstar Riley Sawyers and prominent local figure Tom Henderson of the Blue Goose Ranch also got a mention.

There was a notice in the Rotan Advance / Roby Star Record a few weeks ago that an application has been filed for a local option election to legalize the sale of alcohol in Fisher County. The result of that vote will be interesting, should it make it to ballot.

There was also a public notice announcing that South Central Water Company of Houston has submitted an application for a water quality permit to authorize the discharge of treated waste water just south of the US 180 and FM 611 intersection. The water will be allowed to drain into Buffalo Creek.

Here are a few catalog sites that the ladies might enjoy: Garnet Hill, At West End, and King Arthur Flour.

The guitar-playing guys might like reading about the Martin Backpacker. It's a portable, compact guitar that's easy to carry along camping or fishing at a length of just 24". It's easy to get a tune on anywhere with this handy little dude.
