And then there are those who, rightfully so, fear a 775-pound steer.1970 was a year many people in West Texas faced their fears. It was the year of the Lubbock tornado, which killed twenty-six people and damaged over 9,000 homes.

Take, for example, the tidy median that divides the north side of Main Street from the south. Even with its green turf, which is supposedly low maintenance, the city crews ensure the trash cans are emptied and things are neat.

Beauty I can live with
How amazing to see the vast differences in what represents beauty around the world. I find myself in awe of the rolling hills of the Carolinas and the variations of green in Ireland. The tawny faces of wild foxes on patios and giant antlers of elk grazing in pastures leave me amazed. Closer to home we have the patchwork squares of farmland, creek beds that are moist from flowing waters, and… To access content, please login or purchase a subscription.

'Laugh Through Life the Best as You Can'
Paula Jackson: She is such a strong person, and when she was so gravely ill... before she got ill, she was an independent young woman. She had a car, she was going to school, before she went to school she had a job. Well, she lost all of that independence to zero independence. She's regained the majority back. She has her own apartment, pays her own bills.
