Getting back to first Principles
By Edwin Feulner

Americans still enjoy freedom of religion. But these days, they’re expected to leave their faith in the pew or at home — not allow it to influence their behavior in the public square.

Stop stealing our art!
To the Editor:
To the thief/thieves who took the 2 spinners from Sherrill Park on Monday, May 2…….. the spinners were put in the park for all to enjoy!

Wonder if you would like for someone to steal them from your yard. You would probably call the police and report them stolen!

There are a few animals however, that take the term habitat generalists so literally that their natural range is huge, and one such animal is the world’s most widespread songbird, the House Sparrow.
The state bird of Texas is a masterful mimic
If I have haven’t said it enough in this column already, let me say it again. Things in the natural world are not always as they seem. Oftentimes birders will rely not only on their sight for observations, but on their ears as well. However, when it comes to the official state bird of Texas, what one hears may not be the species that is actually present.
