Credit is due to several Ennis citizens for the recent recovery of a long-submerged 2012 Nissan Altima that was last driven by the late Emily Wade.

She went missing on a cold, rainy night on January 6, 2019. Clues pointed to Chambers Creek, four miles south of Hwy 287 on Ensign Road. In spite of vocal doubters and criticism by professional rescuers, she was discovered on January 21, 2019. Her car remained unaccounted for until 26-months later when low-waters and receding mud made its discovery possible on Saturday, March 6.

First, the good aspects of socialism. Someone help me out here? I haven’t come up with anything. I’ve taken a look at Sweden since I’d heard socialism worked there. Well, it turns out their brief experiment in the 1970s and 1980s was a complete failure. Before they’d tried it, they were one of the richest and prosperous countries in the world. Since returning to a more capitalist form of government, they are again prospering.

Have you ever hated someone you had no reason at all to hate? While it’s natural to deny that we entertain such emotional disdain for someone, yet many of us do.

An obvious choice would be people who shh you. Yes, folks who tell us to be quiet. No, not those who shh fourth graders or librarians, but condescending adults who wield power with their index finger placed over their lips.

The truth about the safety of wearing a mask to prevent the spread of coronavirus should be approximately the same coming from every doctor. That would make the answer fairly clear and simple. It would bring clarity to the decision about strapping on the protective covering or facing the elements without one.
