Jolly ‘Ol St. Nicholas came calling a little earlier this year--like three months earlier--and this time he wasn’t bringing presents to all the good boys and girls of the world!

Over the course of last weekend, it became apparent that a Tropical Storm/Hurricane was definitely going to impact the middle coast of Texas, and we were in the possible path of this oncoming destroyer called Tropical Storm Nicholas.

Last week the Kingsville Record ran an editorial espousing optimism that we as a community might be turning the corner on the COVID-19 pandemic. We wrote that it appeared things in our area were returning to normal, but COVID-19 variants could pose a serious threat to our recovery.
