It only happens every four years, but I’ve never caught Olympic fever. Hope that doesn’t put me on a black list for national pride. I’ve always caught the headlines and even enjoyed the telling of a heartstrings, overcoming-the-odds story. But I never have had any event at any Olympics that I didn’t want to miss. I know New Zealander Rex Maddaford, a distance runner at Eastern New Mexico University who competed in Mexico City in 1968. But that’s about as close as I’ve come...

After a really brief but bawdy monsoon season, seems like we’ve jumped straight out into the frying pan around here. Two weeks ago, I logged nearly 2 inches of rain in a little over an hour, triggering a flash flood warning for a couple of days running. A few days later we were receiving heat warnings from the weather services for multiple days. I don’t have a lot of trouble with the heat these days because I don’t have to get out in it. I just turn the thermostat down until...

In a book by Causey’s nephew...

Kaylynn Belew was in Denver recently for events related to the Daniels Scholarship Program. She is among about 20 New Mexico graduating seniors this year awarded the honor. She said one interesting aspect of the event was attending an etiquette class. "We learned when you put your knife down on your plate, face the blade toward yourself. It's a historical rule; if you faced your blade toward someone else, it was perceived as a threat to them," Belew said. The News caught up to...
Tate Turnbough spent a portion of his youth on a farm in Curry County.

My precious mother’s head has always been in the clouds. Her beautiful gray hair even looks a little like a cloud. On a recent car trip with her she out of the blue announced, “there’s an elephant.” Well, I dang near wrecked the car looking for that elephant until I realized she was looking up at the puffy white cloud formations and picking out the ones that looked like an object or animal. She’s always gazed at the clouds to see what they had to offer. I shouldn’t...
