I met #AugieMeyers during an arts celebration at the #Tobin. He was sincere and genuine. So sad to hear of his passing.

Lordy there's so much to love about baseball. The sounds, the textures, the fan experience. I've wanted to tell the story of The Long Time in Austin for a, well, long time. We're devoting an entire episode of @tcreporter to it on April 11th.

"Meeting face to face is the West Texas way...I want to be able to sit down with someone to get answers." @bigbendsentinel on landowners calling for meetings with @GregAbbott_TX on Big Bend area border wall plans: bigbendsentinel.com/2026/03/25/bor…

How widespread is border wall opposition in Far West Texas? Well, even the Big Bend Regional Hospital District - local indigent care/community health entity - is considering a resolution opposing it today:

Highs today and Wednesday will average from around 20 to 25 F above normal, making it feel more like late May than late March. #txwx #nmwx

We tied a record today at Midland, but we look to break more records before a cold front brings cooler conditions Friday and into the weekend. #nmwx #txwx

Border Patrol’s Big Bend Sector is promoting border wall plans on Facebook now. The agency and sector had been pretty quiet about it ‘til last few days. BP briefed local officials on plans last week as @MarfaRadio reported here: marfapublicradio.org/news/2026-03-2…

This great story from @arelisrhdz reporting in the Big Bend region is on the front page of @washingtonpost today: washingtonpost.com/immigration/20…

Border walls no longer planned for Big Bend Ranch State Park, but many wall plans remain in the region. Latest from @MarfaRadio: marfapublicradio.org/news/2026-03-2…

Statement late Friday from @CBP on border wall plans in the Big Bend - agency says it's "currently focusing on the top operational priorities with historical rates of high illegal entry" but doesn't rule out wall building in the national or state park: marfapublicradio.org/news/2026-03-0…

A bipartisan group of West Texas sheriffs issued a joint statement today opposing plans for border wall building in the Big Bend region: facebook.com/PresidioCounty… They say a wall would "not represent the most practical or strategic approach to border security in this area."
