Crow’s Nest by Clint Younts Bluebonnets are thick as ticks on a hound’s belly, and other wildflowers have begun popping up in my pasture. My pecan tree and those devilish mesquite trees have just sprouted leaves. So, after our horrific week of winter, I officially declare it’s springtime in Texas. M...

Well, Thanksgiving is over, and I am attempting to flatten the curve after my diet was shattered like a whisky bottle thrown on a rock pile. I’m not accepting the final tally of all the calories I took in from those slices of pie, and I demanded a recount, but the results are final. Numbers don’t li...

Y’know, if it weren’t for this corona virus, I’d’ve never had learned how many smart folks there are out there using social media. Well, at least on Facebook since I don’t tweet or do any other form of chatting with strangers. And being home a lot in an attempt to keep myself and my family healthy, ...

Several years ago, when I was new to this newspaper writing business, I wrote a column about the pillaging of the South. No, not by General Sherman during the War of North Aggression but in present day by folks who dislike everything linked to the Confederacy. Five years ago, when my blood was a tad...

I  don’t know if it’s a side effect of the coronavirus or maybe from eating too much junk food during the quarantine,   but I think a whole mess of folks have lost their ever-loving mind. I see stuff the major news networks are trying to cram down our throats, and I read absolutely insane hogwash on...

Well, here we all are in our fourth month of this pandemic. Luckily, I haven’t contracted that stinkin’ virus, unless I was one of those asymptomatic carriers we keep hearing about. Heck, I might’ve have the ‘Rona and not even known it. If infected, you might have a fever and body aches according to...

It’s been a while since my last column. Some of y’all might’ve been thinking I’ve done caught that coronavirus, but most of my friends know I mostly drink Lone Star. I haven’t had a Corona in ten years, not since I took a swig from a real skunky bottle. So, no, I don’t have the virus. I’m still on t...

W ell, it’s January and I reckon it’s time for me to publicly announce my New Year’s resolution. I’m a little late this year in making my announcement, kinda like Jerry Jones, because I haven’t quite decided what changes I need to make. At my age, making life changes is like adding a fourth wall to ...

Just the other day, I was doing some very important investigative research online, and after I ascertained all the facts and evaluated the data, I set my fantasy football lineup for this week. Once I was done with that weekly task, I clicked over to Facebook to see whose birthday I had forgotten. Af...

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It’s the one day where no one will pester you about eating too much, even if you spend hours after dinner sitting in your recliner, pants unsnapped and moaning about that third helping of sweet taters pressing against your spleen. And it’s one day where y...
