Ty's Take
The governor's drought declaration hit the wire yesterday, and if you've been out past the city limits lately you already knew it was coming—the land's been telling us for months. Fire season's here early and hot, and that means the usual rules apply: watch your burn piles, keep your property cleared, and for God's sake call it in quick if you see smoke. The screwworm alerts going out are a reminder that heat and dry conditions don't just threaten our forests, they stress livestock hard when water gets scarce. Chamber's pushing local business, and that's good work, but this time of year what really holds a community together is neighbors watching neighbors, keeping the water trucks full, and everybody understanding we're all vulnerable to the same spark.
