My last dog almost needs hospice care

We have a crazy terrier mix named Ryder who does bizarre things. Now he’s getting older, though, and it’s a sad sight to watch pass by. He’s the last of the five we had for years, three that lived indoors, and two that lived outside in a kennel when they weren’t out playing, dealing drugs on the street. I miss those days when we still had all five, even though caring for them took some work.

Happy Birthday, Bob Dylan

I was going to write a column about Bob Dylan since he turned the big 80 Monday, but where is there to write that hasn’t already been written. Only thing I can say is, it’s nice to have been born during a time when I could enjoy his early stuff when it came out, after becoming a huge fan circa ’72. It’s been an uphill ride from there. Now I have to go listen to “Tweeter and the Monkey Man” for today’s writing inspiration (thanks, Mickey).

June gallery exhibit at Weslaco Museum: “Jim Farber: Wood Carver Exhibit”

WESLACO - Jim Farber spent his life making replicas of ships and wood carvings. Countless hours were dedicated to studying dimensions, as well as details for each one. The Weslaco Museum presents his carvings and ships for the June gallery exhibit, interspersed with many tools from several generations. This exhibit is dedicated to the fathers of the Rio Grande Valley.
