The class was The Conquest of Mexico, an in-depth study of Cortes' victory over the Aztecs. Our trip was so exciting; adventurous tours of the Aztec pyramids, the pre-Colombian...

Friday and the weekend proved to be a wet time for this area. It also caused the creeks to get higher than they have been in several years. Hopefully, everyone was safe. Little Swan Creek was out of its boundaries in several places and along the low area that runs from the steel bridge on Little Swan through the low land. It was over the road at one time, but not for long, and there was not a lot of debris in the road.Hopefully, it did not damage fences along the area where people have cattle.

What were you doing the night of Saturday, March 19, 1977? Like 21.2 million other Americans, I was watching the final episode of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” Watching it and making a nerdy audio recording of it for posterity. Sure, I didn’t anticipate the cassette keepsake having such an eardrum-assaulting HUM on it; but at least I felt like I was a part of something historic. And maybe I should use the tape’s hum even today to drown myself out when I spontaneously start singing, “It’s a...
