SUMMER

Spring was here for a day, I think. Summer simply said "move over" so she did. It's been quite a while since we've seen much moisture, but it did rain the other day, I think. At least the clouds have hung around a couple of mornings, or three.

Tony's making real progress on his feedyard. That's a hidden gem that doesn't get much press. But I think it could be a real expansion from West Texas over time, and bring needed new dollars into the county.

The Racing Commission is coming to town next month, July 24 to be exact, and we'll get our shot at the last horse racing license in the state. That would create 300 full time jobs. Now we just need to find housing for them.

The Governor's Economic Development Summit will be here in October, and so will the state's Renewable Energy Transmission Authority. Good stuff.

Now, if we could just get a few raindrops. Glad I have a rock yard, I think.
