This coral fossil I found last week near Cowboy Hill reminds us that the presence of water in this area predates history.
Before the month of March ends, I want to recognize two anniversaries.
First, Government in the Sun is now 1 year old. The site is truly a labor of love, garnering me not a cent of income, an occasional troll and a private "thank you" here and there when I am out and about in Mertzon. I launched with this post on March 21, 2023.
Second, March 18 marks the 8 year mark of when I first notified my neighbor, Irion County ISD, that it was flooding my property. To mark the occasion, I am publishing below my first emails trying to get it stopped. I also referenced these emails in my post, A Different Take on Billy Barnett. Barnett and Brian Gray were previous superintendents at the school, and each spearheaded bond packages that worsened stormwater runoff from the District.
"I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice." Theodore Parker, thought to be the inspiration for MLK's quote, "...the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice."
Thank you for visiting my site.
