It Seems To Me

In a previous article, I used the dictionary definition of the word PERVERSION: “to alter something from its original course, its meaning or state, to a distortion of corruption of what was first intended”. Perversion is basically the substance of woke culture along with alphabet ideology about sexual orientation. The logical response of most people would be to correct that which has been corrupted and establish its original intent. A parent does this, using a ‘quiet time’ for a misbehaving child, to think about their actions and correct them. 03/23/2023 12:00 AM

Eve Ball’s Written Account of Archie Frame’s Interview of 1947

Eve Ball’s Written Account of Archie Frame’s Interview of 1947

How can any closure come to a Spider Rock Texas Treasure Hunt that began in 1902 and has continued to the present, a hunt that continues today? We are talking about a 120-year period of searching; this writer joined the hunt 55 years ago. It has been 74 years since Eve Ball interviewed Archie Frame about their Spanish Research Mine in New Mexico which they dug on for 22 summers, from 1920 to 1942. The Archie Frame interview was printed in True West in December of 1973— 50 years ago. That magazine issue is rare and hard to find so it will be reprinted here. 03/23/2023 12:00 AM

Essential Flowers to Plant This Spring for Gorgeous Blooms

Essential Flowers to Plant This Spring for Gorgeous Blooms

Spring just might be our favorite season of the year. Sure, we're excited for warm weather, but it's getting into the garden— and planting flowers— that really brightens our spirits. Spring isn't just a time to add some color to your early-season garden; it's also when you can incorporate flowers that will bloom in summer and into fall and even those that come back each spring for years to come. 03/23/2023 12:00 AM
