An Editorial of Birth

February 12, 2014
Astrologists might be happy. The founding of this online newspaper is 2-12-2014.
I have undertaken this Fourth Estate business because I consider it a unique opportunity to serve my fellow citizens and to satisfy the juices in me. I pledge my all.
The paper will carry some news of the Terlingua community, though the present Terlingua Moon is a satisfactory outlet for most posts. My devotion will be to features on people and places throughout Texas, but especially in the Big Bend. And I will heavily invest in columns catering to the thirsty appetites of Terlingua readers.
Nor has the arts been adequately covered. We will correct that.
Nor has the oil and gas industry been truthfully covered. We will correct that.
The depth of our coverage will expand as we grow. Where we have an inkling of truth or a light hearted moment, we will write The Coffee Cup, a revival of a social column which first appeared in our college days.
Right now, plan for this newspaper "to hit the streets" on Wednesdays.

Happy Wednesdays to you all.
