When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won.
There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

Recycling
July 12 is the next full run to the park to empty the trailer. (Rescheduled due to the holiday.)
8 AM at the trailer or meet us at PJ around 9 or so. Sure could use some help as we are full again.
And a reminder to please sort your recycles better. No used pizza boxes with either pizza or grease in it, no oil stained cardboard, no milk jugs with milk still in it or not rinsed and more of the same. Sure helps at sorting at PJ on this.

This week at La Kiva:
We hope everyone has a wonderful Fourth of July, and to celebrate the event we will be offering drinks specials - Black Velvet and Paloma.
Introducing new weekly Pizza Specials on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Fish & Chips are still a great favorite and our Steaks are spectacular. Provoleta Argentina is very popular and for a light meal, Mushrooms stuffed with crab in a cream sauce are excellent.
Wednesday, Fourth of July, Tim Relleva will be playing his wonderful guitar music.
Thursday, Chet O'Keefe will be playing his amazing original songs and guitar music.
Friday and Saturday, we will have Karaoke.
An appeal to all our friends who might remember. When we first came to BBNP in 1982, winter camping in The Basin, we came across a lot of $1 bills with "La Kiva" stamped on them in blue. We were told that this had been done by Gill Felts who had recently opened a new bar in Terlingua called "La Kiva" and we must go there. We did, and after that, every time we visited this area we came to La Kiva and were enchanted. Knowing how people like to hang on to interesting memorabilia, I wonder if anyone out there still can find one of these bills. We would love to have one framed in the bar, to add to the other reminders of the spectacular past surrounding La Kiva. We think it would really add to the atmosphere and remind everyone of the very special imagination of a very special man.

Eight candidates have filed for the July 31 special election to replace former state Sen. Carlos Uresti, D-San Antonio, — including his brother, outgoing state Rep. Tomas Uresti, according to the secretary of state's office.
The deadline was 5 p.m. Monday, and among the eight candidates who filed, there are four Democrats, three Republicans and one Libertarian. The candidates had a short window to file — Gov. Greg Abbott announced the special election five days ago.
The contest will determine who will fill the seat of Carlos Uresti, who resigned Thursday after being found guilty earlier this year of 11 felonies related to fraud and money laundering. Uresti is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday.
The list of candidates includes two prominent Democrats who were already running for Carlos Uresti's seat before he resigned: state Rep. Roland Gutierrez of San Antonio and former U.S. Rep. Pete Gallego of Alpine. The fourth Democrat who filed is Charlie Urbina Jones, a Poteet attorney who unsuccessfully ran for Texas' 23rd Congressional District in the 1990s.
The three Republicans who filed are Pete Flores, who unsuccessfully challenged Carlos Uresti in 2016; Jesse "Jay" Alaniz, the former president of the Harlandale ISD board; and Carlos Antonio Raymond, who unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for House District 117 in March. The Libertarian candidate is Tony Valdivia, a senior reporting analyst at USAA Bank.
The winner of the special election will finish Carlos Uresti's term, which ends January 2021. Early voting begins July 16.
