A Texas cowboy from up in the panhandle was trying his best to make it home for Christmas day.
Well Sirs. I was lookin for a little history cuz I wasn't too happy with what the history book said. I knew there had to be more to the start of the little town of Elgin, Texas and anyhow the history books don't always tell the truth.
This January Lo-fi makes another move. They’ll relocate from Main Street to Central Avenue, right around the corner… into the original Southside Market building.

Dia de Muertos, Day of the Dead, the beautiful honoring of our ancestors is nearing, and as I do every year, I am sharing my reflection on Mexican Dia de Muertos.
