Summer 2011

My thought from West Texas today is simple ... IT IS HOT & DRY!!!

We haven't had significant moisture since October and now we had over 25 days of 100 degrees or higher temps!! I'm really looking forward to some time in Ruidoso where it's about 20 degrees cooler.

Of course, this is the summer that Lockney moves into the new High School. Construction is nearly complete and the crew has begun moving furniture into the building. My network electronic installers will be here on July 18 and then I'll begin the process of setting up 65 computers. It's a daunting task but it will get done! The new building is so nice and it will be great to be back in the building. 

Well it's less than seven weeks till high school football starts and less than eight weeks till college football starts. It's always an exciting time of the year and this year is no different. Expectations are hopeful for all the high school and college players as a new season starts. The big thing this year is so far there is no settlement in the NFL lockout so the question is still ... will there be pro football this year?

My closing thought for the day: The man or woman who keeps looking up, will seldom ever feel down. If you walk around with your head down, you will seldom see anything except dirt and other people's rubbish. - David Robinson of Northern Ireland
