Nature notes warn of earthquakes from artificial lakes near dams
Two science articles discuss dam caused lake formation and seismic activity. Dr Reiffle links artificial lakes to earthquakes while Dr Hasler notes eutrophication from dammed rivers accelerates algae growth, aging lakes and increasing flood risk. The piece cites the Rio Grande and Blanco Guadalupe rivers and Wild and Scenic River proposals.

A Texan recalls August 1929 when George Burdett and two sons chased a herd from Geronimo Creek to Blanco County. They rode two young broncs toward Boerne, turning the 40 head stock loose in the west pasture and keeping three notable paints, including Diamond King, until long after.

Drips and Drops From The Waterwheel
Excerpts reflect Aldo Leopold on wildness and nature. The text contrasts wild experiences with modern progress and questions the value of a higher living standard against nature. It invokes geese, pasque flowers, and the duty to protect wild free environments.
