“I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I'm like, 'My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don't have it. I just want to chill.' We all have self-doubt. You don't deny it, but you also don't capitulate to it. You embrace it." – Kobe Bryant

ALL ENERGIES
Tip of the week: A commonly overlooked part of off grid homes is good household wiring. There have been a number of times a solar installation is completed and power is turned on, only to find that the home’s wiring has a dangerous short. Make sure your wiring is up to the National Electric Code! This website is full of useful info: [forums.mikeholt.com]. When in doubt, get a licensed electrician with good references! We recommend The Town Electrician, Charles Turvey (Owner/ Master Electrician) TECL# 31504. Check out his weekly ad in the Moon for more information. If you need help making your solar system work better, email casey@allenergies.net or call/text 432-242-1874 Thanks, Casey!

EARTH AND FIRE ART GALLERY
Guest Artist, Milwaukee-based artist Mark Wojno explores ideas and emotions of “stark beauty” through oil paintings of the Chihuahuan desert and industrial landscapes of Milwaukee and Chicago. Originally trained as a cultural anthropologist, this
mostly self-taught artist has always been sensitive to visual elements of different cultures. Spending his time between Terlingua and Milwaukee, he depicts vast spaces and light punctuated by simple but dramatic built and natural forms, evoking a
sense of solitude and silence. This pattern is especially evident in his representational landscapes of the Big Bend.
MUSIC AT THE BAD RABBIT ON TERLINGUA RANCH
