With many of the normal senior-year activities cancelled this spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic, members of the Class of 2020 were feted Friday to a parade hosted by the Lamesa Area Chamber of Commerce.

Open to graduating seniors from Lamesa and the surrounding area, the parade was one of the largest seen here in a number of years.

Our life in a new era

Traveling in America today has become a journey into the alternate world of sci-fi movies. I had the misfortune of being on a trip to Malawi in 2006 when the shoe bomber decided to attempt his jihad.
