The beauty of the high plains is rugged. Barren landscapes that stretch as far as the eye can see. The rising of the sun, and its majestic setting … we do have incredible sunsets. Wild plums that put on a wonderful show in the springtime. The plants here are tough, just like the people who came to this area and called it home over a century ago. Beautiful and lovely. Two different things. Lovely things are more genteel, carefully cared for, sweet little things. To be sure, I can look around and find plenty of natural b... Full story

For all the video game-style stats the Eastern New Mexico University offense put up over the weekend, sophomore Ryan Boydstun and junior Kyle Kesmarki made sure the pitching staff was heard from as well. ENMU compiled 50 runs and 60 hits in a season-opening, four-game sweep of first-year program Adams State at Greyhound Field, but Boydstun made relatively little run support stand up for a 3-0 win in the opener of Sunday's twin bill. Kesmarki earned a save in that game, then worked the final 1 2/3 innings of the nightcap for...

Uh oh. It seems that the date for this column should probably indicate its content. Rats! If the whole thing reads like it was written by a Valentine's Day grinch, I should just plead guilty.

It's not particularly what the pseudo-holiday has turned...
