Am I mistaken in my belief that the Times is still printed in El Paso while the layout and design are done out of town?

Reader poll
June 24, 2019Frater Jason has recently written comments about people learning more about our Constitution.
Should the blog start a series of posts that reprint the Constitution?

Part time reporting
June 19, 2019We had a runoff election Saturday.
Sunday morning I expected to read about the results in The El Paso Times.
They did not have an article covering the results.
They did have full pages of obituaries in section A on pages 2 and 4 with pages 3 and 7 having more.
Evidently the election was important enough to be the headline article on Monday.
It looks like we have lost the Times.

A young patriot
June 18, 2019This came in as a comment the other day.
I believe that it deserves its own post:
Today is Flag Day and I manage a flag program for the Kiwanis of El Paso that places flags at homes & businesses on 5 patriotic holidays a year. I received this special note today that made me feel what we do is really worth it. Here goes:
“I really do appreciate the fact that you do this — it cannot be cost effective for you but the presentation is really effective.
Let me tell you a true story that happened this last Memorial Day.
First, I have a flag on top of my house that flies 24 hours a day and with the wind in this area it needs to be replaced often.
Being Memorial Day, I wanted a beautiful clean flag for the occasion.
As I was replacing my flag pole I noticed your flags being installed on my lawn and a scout (I think) stepped back and saluted each installation.
And then I was noticed on the roof placing my flag. He looked up and saluted that as well.
I got to tell you that I choked up with emotion for what he did and I am now as I write this am doing the same.
I got to tell you that in today’s world, this type of exhibition is, sadly, unheard of. I was and am seriously impressed.
Thank you for what you do,”
