Ty's Take
Spring's still a ways off, but Silver City's already got rodeo fever—the Wild, Wild West Rodeo is coming up, and if history's any guide, it'll draw the kind of crowd that reminds us why this town's never quite made up its mind about who it wants to be. Meanwhile, the DAR folks got their captions sorted on that 250th anniversary plaque, which is the kind of small correction that nobody notices but everybody remembers eventually, when somebody's kid asks about the real story behind the marker. Both events, in their way, are about keeping track of where we've been—one through dust and cheers, the other through bronze and careful historical footnotes.
