Three years and 11 months — somehow my time at the San Marcos Daily Record passed by both in the blink of an eye and over what felt like an immeasurable span of time.

Editor,

Dear San Marcos CISD Families,

There is more than one way to spread a virus. All you need is a bunch of people, brought together by some common purpose, and you’re on your way to community spread.

Good evening, San Marcos. This is your Mayor, Jane Hughson. Like so many of you, I was outraged as I witnessed the horrific killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. To be a police officer in America is to assume responsibility for the safety of one’s community, and to abuse the power of the badge to endanger, and in this case kill, a resident is inexcusable. I’m still shaken, and frankly, I’m angry.

The swarm of Texas politicians snarling at one another about how to run elections turned into a lawsuit — bringing hope, maybe, that some panel of wise judges would sort things out, make things clear, save the day.

Ever gotten the wind knocked out of you? Or been unable to breathe for even a few seconds?
