Notebook: July 25

Road work...

Watch out for road crews on N.M. 88 near Portales. Starting Monday, state Department of Transportation works will be out there blading and patching potholes. Could be traffic interruptions there for the next two weeks.

Game time...

If you’re into gaming, head for the Clovis-Carver Public Library today. Family Game Day is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. More info at 575-769-7840.

Parting shot...

After a little more than six years, I’m out of here. Heading for California.

It’s been fun Clovis. Thanks to all those who trusted me. Thanks for the lessons from those who didn’t.

Respect to all the folks at the CNJ who struggle against many odds each day to get you readers the truth. My parting shot...a few lines from my theme song, “I Won’t Back Down” by Tom Petty:

“Well I know what's right, I got just one life, in a world that keeps on pushin' me around, but I'll stand my ground...and I won't back down.”
