The leak we have been looking for is suddenly worse. Please report any wet spots you see that look out of place! We have already checked the Egg and the area reported over behind EMS... they were not The issue. This is getting critical and may force conservation measures by Monday if not found.
Please call or text me, Jason, at 432-599-3232 or Quintin, at 432-386-2628 to report a leak.
Thank you for your help!

CELEBRATING COPPER LOVE’S LIFE AND ART
Come join us at Earth and Fire Gallery in a celebration of Copper Love's life and art starting on Saturday, November 18. 
Copper Love was born on Dec. 10, 1949 and left us on Mar. 28, 2017.  Copper's love affair with the Big Bend started back in the early 70's, enjoying a trip with her sister JoAnn to paint the mountains and skies that had captured her imagination and her heart.
Copper was an inspiration to those who knew her, both friends of many years, as well as those who only met her briefly.  Her aura glowed with her joy of life!
Her paintings captured the drama of the vistas she set out to paint.  How she loved the Big Bend sunrises and sunsets...and not another picturesque sky will go by without thinking of Copper, and feeling her in our hearts.
Her first art show in the Big Bend was back in 1989 at Dos Amigos Gallery in the Terlingua Trading Co.  Followed by (not in this order) Spirit of the West Gallery, Front Street Books, Ft. Davis Drug Store Gallery, Lajitas Gallery, countless Gallery Nights/Art Walks, Dale Jensen Gallery, Diva Terlingua, Leapin' Lizard, High Sierra Bar and Grill, Earth and Fire Gallery, Starlight Theater... Now in full circle, Copper is showing at the Terlingua Trading Co.,: Starlight from 11/10-11/18: and then following up at the Earth and Fire Gallery through the month of November.

LA KIVA
Every Monday is Italian Night! Pasta Specials and buy one get one half off Pizzas!
Tuesday - Shark Taco Tuesday!
Wednesday - Fish special! Baked Hungarian-style Trout with Sauteed Kale and Rice Pilaf
Thursday and Friday - Our Famous Fish and Chips! Served British style with Malt Vinegar!
Saturday - We're not sure what we're doing Saturday. Sometimes we're not sure what we're doing other days, either.  And a reminder: Every Monday is the La Kiva Chess Club, and Karaoke has moved from Tuesday to Friday for the foreseeable future. However, we're definitely not sure about the unforeseeable future. 
So come down, hang out, and have a great time!

STEPHEN KRIVOY MEMORIAL
There will be a memorial service for Stephen Krivoy Saturday, November 18th at the Terlingua community church on church road located just down from the ranch headquarters in Bad Rabbit Café.

After the service we will have coffee and potluck as we get together and celebrate Steve's life and friendships.  Later that evening as the sun goes down we will have telescopes out to look at planets and constellations. Steve's shared his hobby with everyone across the desert and in Big Bend and worked with public and private schools when he lived in San Antonio for astronomical outreach. Weather permitting  YOGI
