Negative impact

Water crisis

Go grab that egg, a spatula, a little salt and pepper and some Tabasco sauce if preferred.

Most of us have heard – and probably seen – the sirens of the trucks from the Boerne Fire Department as they leave their station on Main Street. BFD is a “hybrid” service, meaning its paid staff/operations are supplemented by the Boerne Volunteer Fire Department, with 15 volunteers currently (per its 2021 annual report).

As I passed my tassel from right to left with the Boerne High School Class of 2022, I felt the breath of the past four years shared with my classmates brush through us with the slight evening wind. It was then that our adolescence ended as quickly as it had brought itself on. Fearfully, I recalled the many who had told me that high school would be the best years of my life, and with hope, I realized they wouldn’t be.

Next week, we observe another special red, white and blue day, even though it’s not recognized as an official federal holiday.

The United States of America was founded in 1776 when our founding fathers came together to write the Declaration of Independence. Then, the writing of our Constitution and Bill of Rights in 1787 set the foundations for our country.

Dangerous drive

Has anyone noticed how hot it is outside? With the current temperatures hitting close to or above 100 degrees almost every day, one would think we’re in the middle of summer, although it doesn’t technically begin until June 21.

Memorial Day is a special holiday, and our country will observe it this Monday, May 30.
