 The
Bloody Hand Prints of Alice Todd Part 1 of 2
Parts
by Lemon Squeezer Published
in San Saba, Texas 1900
"Away back in the early sixties
when a Redskin lurked in every brushy hollow and when men and women went horseback to
church, often times fifteen miles away, when everybody knew everybody else, and when
everyone was a true neighbor -- it was then our story began."

 Legacy
in Stone: A Primer on Texas Arrowheads
by Ira Kennedy
The human history of the Americas has its roots deep in the soil of
Texas. Lacking a written record it is not a history in the traditional sense of the word,
but it is a cronological record none-the-less. This documentation exists in the form
of inobtrusive stone artifacts lost, buried, or abandoned by their creators.
Although the most abundant of these flint tools are scrapers, handaxes and other
utilitarian artifacts, the "arrowheads" and "bird points" are the most
commonly understood and sought after. Illustraion by Ira Kennedy. |
 December 2021: The
Mayan Calendar
by Ira Kennedy
"According to Mayan chronology, the present age started on 12 August
3114 BC and is to end on 22 December 2012. At that time the Earth as we know it is again
to be destroyed by catastrophic earthquakes." Reading that it’s easy for
folks to fall into the notion that "The End is at Hand." But wait. Before
we start hunkering down lets take a look backward and review exactly what did happen
around 3,000 BC. Save the image (left) as

Part 2 of 2 Parts by Cork Morris
"However nebulous it might be, a paved road offers certain security
to the weary traveler. It tells us that someone, real and concrete, (with a
full-time job) has gone this way before to build the road and remove it's dangers.
As one views a paved road from a hill-top, and watches it wend it's way through the hills
and valleys, one can almost see a Picassoish flow to the line of it. It is a sculpted and
well thought out." thing."
