I recently moved to Edna from the Austin area and unfortunately still commute to Austin for work which makes driving down Highway 111 (between Edna & 77) in the wee hours of the morning necessary.
It has to be the longest, and darkest, 30 mile section of road (give or take a...

So it appears Ike might be my first hurricane experience.
See, northern girls don't face hurricanes. We see ice storms, blizzards and the possible tornado warning. Snow days were the best.
But hurricanes? Not so much.
So I think I'm allowed to be a bit apprehensive about the whole...

A good friend and I are gearing up for a trip to New Braunfels this weekend to float the Guadalupe River, and I have to say I'm excited.
I've only floated the river once, a couple years ago, with some friends in college. While I don't remember too much about it all, I do know I came home with...

As I worked on a story about Texas native chile peppers I heard an unusual rustling in the leaves. Turns out it was this colorful critter who seemed curious about me. Had I written off the sound I would never have seen this amazing little rainbow of a reptile. Being a journalist...

I got back from an interview just a bit ago and, as I glanced back at my car, I realized just how desperately the poor things needs a bath. Both inside and out.
The inside is full of dog hair and papers I don't need, while the outside is covered in Texas dust and reminders that I must have...

I believe that they do. I was sought out by a man from Goliad who had been a very public figure in Florida in his previous life. He used me from December to February and then dumped me. I have been hurt terribly by him and am now afraid to meet another man ...I worry that I will...

Texas pride is something I learned about from hipster friends while I was in school in Austin. They had the tats, drank Lone Star Beer, and had Texas flags to block out the light of day.
From flaming jalapenos to flags, nothing can beat this image that is truly Texan. I shot it at...

WASHINGTON -- Oftentimes in narratives, the victories of great heroes arise from their deaths. Aeneas. Jesus. John Henry. Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Have the rumors of Ron Paul’s demise also been exaggerated?

I took my dog Marley - he's the mutt you see to the left, looking absolutely miserable in the bunny ears - to his first obedience class yesterday. And, as my co-worker Sonny Long predicted, it looks like I'll be the one getting the education.
I've never gone to formal - or informal,...

WASHINGTON -- Original editions of Ron Paul’s monthly newsletters are nearly impossible to find. Still, the text survives, recorded on microfilm by some poor devil of a sub-sub-librarian in Wisconsin to be passed around to various media publications looking to slander the Lake Jackson...

When I moved down to Texas, I really hoped the legal driving age would be 18. Of course, as you know, it isn't.
But as my son approaches 16, I worry more and more about it and whether I should let him get a driver's license. When I lived in Greeley, CO., Weld County consistently led the...
