Elida Vidos of Red Oak was age 46 when she received the sobering news that she had high grade (Grade III) infiltrating ductal carcinoma in January of 2004. Vidos said, “I feel like I’m one of the very lucky ones, I only had to endure chemotherapy for about eight months, and radiation was never part of my treatment that I had to go through, like so many others.
It’s already extra-scary when a woman’s family history includes cancer in their genetics. But even more frightful for Kwajalien Anderson of Ennis is that she had five aunts that had various forms of cancer (some including breast), and each one passed away from this horrible disease.
You are declaring in a contract. What difference does it make if you are playing in a team event or a matchpointed pair event? Today’s rather extreme example will highlight the difference. How should South play in three no-trump -- yes, three notrump! -- after West leads a low spade and dummy’s jack takes the trick?
Kyle Larson has led a lot of laps and come awfully close to hoisting a trophy at Homestead-Miami Speedway. On Sunday he finally did both, winning the Dixie Vodka 400 NASCAR Cup Series Playoff race in dominant form.
Noah Gragson has led plenty of laps at Homestead-Miami Speedway with three Top-10 finishes in his four starts before this weekend. And Saturday night – at long last – Gragson earned the Xfinity Series winner’s trophy to go with all his statistical success at the South Florida track.

When hunting, nothing takes the place of good old fashioned woodsmanship which is learned only by spending time in the woods and fields observing animals and the sign they leave. Back when I was a youngster the only way to learn about wildlife was to look for the sign the animals made or, actually observe them while hunting or scouting. Then, maybe four decades ago, the idea of capturing the image of big game via a remote camera appeared on the hunting scene. I remember a company shipping me an old 35mm film camera encased in a somewhat waterproof box that was state of the art technology, at least at the time. The camera had a thin trip wire that was stretched across a game trail. When the animal touched the wire, the shutter fell on the camera and, supposedly, the image was captured on film. Of course, the film than had to be developed in order to see the image. As I remember, my success with this crude “’trail camera’ was less than stellar.
Dry conditions across the state could pose some challenges as waterfowl hunters gear up for the start of the new season. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) biologists indicate habitat conditions are not ideal for ducks and duck hunters in many parts of Texas.
I was reading in Acts 4:31 about the early church and how they prayed together and the “place in which they were gathered together was shaken.” This passage and other supernatural things came up in a group setting the other day and I was amazed at the number of people in the church who have never experienced the Holy Spirit showing up and showing off for lack of a better way to put it.
