Ty's Take

Thirty years is a long time to keep a technical college running in a county this size, which tells you something about what Texas County Technical College has meant to folks around here. The school's been steady work, training people for jobs that actually exist instead of chasing some distant promise, and that matters in timber and cattle country where you need skilled hands who know how to show up and do the work right. High school football season's rolling along with Cabool getting their Friday nights, the deer are moving slower than usual for archery hunters, and the Roby fair's coming up Saturday like it always does. That's the rhythm of a working county in October, and there's honest pride in an institution that's kept pace with it for three decades without any fanfare or nonsense.

West Plains Daily Digest Tuesday, September 22, 2026

Ty's Take We lost some good ones this week, the kind of people who showed up and did their work without needing much fanfare about it. Earl Souder, Jackie Owens, Charles Williams, Janice Bentley, and Chris Nelson are names that meant something in Howell County, whether folks knew

Truth or Consequences Daily Digest Tuesday, September 22, 2026

Ty's Take The dam keeps breaking, the mine keeps talking, and now somebody new owns the voting machines, but nobody around here seems quite sure what any of it means yet. That's not complaint, just observation. Water's the real story underneath all three, if
