Over the last couple of weeks, I have seen tons of fire ant mounds pop up around my house. After a hot dry summer, I figured they were all gone, but the recent rains have them back out in full force.

MILES - The 45th Annual Miles Cotton Festival was celebrated on Saturday, September 10th under sunny skies in the Miles City Park. The annual event is sponsored by the Miles Preservation Authority. This year’s theme was Rockin’ Cotton and began at 9 in the morning with a parade. Countless parade participants and spectators were in attendance showing off tractors, tricked-out cars and pickups, Cotton Queen participants and various organization’s floats uniquely decorated for the event. Following the parade, the public gathered at the park and shopped at the various booths set up. Vendors sold homemade barbecue sauce, all types of food, clothing, toys, monogrammed gifts, and Texas-themed memorabilia, just to name a few. There was something for everyone. Children had a bounce house and even a gentleman twisting and making all sorts of objects from tiny balloons, entertaining kids of all ages. There was something for everyone across an area that encompassed several city blocks. Stores and restaurants downtown were open for the event, as well, and welcomed the city’s visitors.
Many famous last words have been said over the centuries; “Give me liberty, or give me death.” “I regret that I have but one life to give for my country.” Since 9/11, we’ve added two more words to the Lexicon of American patriotism: “Let’s Roll.” Those were the last words by Todd Beamer on United Flight 93, the man who called 911 from his hijacked airliner; the man who formed a group with other passengers and attacked the hijackers; the man whose group of heroes stopped their hijacked airliner from crashing into either the White House or the Capitol. “Let’s roll.” Those words were repeated by Ballinger Fire Dept captain Ken Kvapil during his remarks on Sunday; words that Kvapil pointed out that are painted on the back of the bucket of Ballinger’s Ladder One; “Let’s roll.” Uribe once again formed a group of dedicated firefighters and family members who walked 5 kilometers, in full turnout gear, to commemorate the sacrifice made on 9/11 by 343 firefi ghters on 9/11.
