Below you find a letter from Jaclyn Joseph from Bandera
I think it is a fine expression of our love to Bandera

Only in Bandera ----------------

As I was driving home for Thanksgiving and thinking of all the
things I would need to pack when I came home for an entire month
over the Christmas break,
I realized one of my favorite things to do is come back to Bandera.
When I left for college I didn't think I would come back as often, but
once I was gone, I missed Bandera and all its charms.

The best thing about coming home is the uniqueness found in Bandera
and the things that happen here. Here is my short list of the things
that make Bandera such a great and unique town:

*Bandera is a small town with a big personality that is nestled
right in the middle of some beautiful hills and has the river
running through.
I love the fall, when all the leaves change colors and make the
surroundings into the most beautiful scenery that we all have the
luxury of having in our backyards.
*Have you ever seen someone drive their tractor to a bar?
Or ride their horse to the store?
You can in Bandera!

*The longhorn on Main Street! No matter how many times I see him,
I'm always amazed that without being tied up, the longhorn doesn't
run away from the traffic. What a well-trained longhorn, which
you can't say in too many places.

*I love how people outside of town decorate their gates
for certain holidays and events, instead of their houses.
People have to decorate their gates because some of the houses
are so far back in the trees, no one would ever see it.

*I love to see the tourists in summer who feel the need to wear
cowboy boots, even if they are wearing shorts.
(Note: It's not tourist that wear boots and shorts...
Bob Wegner, world champion bull rider, does it frequently and even
has "boot" golfing shoes.)

*The stores in Bandera couldn't have nicer people working in them.
Everyone is always helpful and accommodating.
I'll never forget the time Ms. Everett let me bring in my little dog
with me because it was hot outside and I couldn't leave her in the car.
What a thoughtful store-owner!
Speaking of dogs, I don't think you'll see more dogs in any other town.
Dogs in cars and trucks are such a regular occurrence here.
Bandera is one of the most dog friendly places.
I don't think I have ever seen another bank in any other town
that has suckers for the kids as well as bones for the dogs in the car.

Back to the stores, have you ever seen any other town at night where
merchandise is left out at night or when a store is closed?
There are a few in Bandera that every time I drive by I think how
amazing that is that the stores never put up anything when they are closed.
It makes me smile that there are so many honest people in Bandera.

The best thing about Bandera, which I hope everyone else appreciates,
is what a great town it is overall.
The people are the friendliest I've ever met.
The pace is laid back and relaxing and things never really change.
It's nice to be able to come home to a town that you know like the back
of your hand, no matter how long you have been gone.
Obviously, there are a million more things about Bandera that make it
unique, but those are just a few that I thought of at Thanksgiving, but
that I am truly grateful for year-round.

Jaclyn Joseph, Bandera


Edwards Mountain in Pipe Creek, Texas, Bandera County, southern Texas Hill Country
Edwards Mountain in Pipe Creek, Texas

One summer, while sitting on the Porch, watching the vultures
circling around Edwards Mountain -
I composed a song " Edwards Mountain Waltz"
and my friend Edgar Wallace, Bandera wrote the words to it:

WHEN I LOOK AT EDWARDS MOUNTAIN
ITS BEAUTY TO BEHOLD
I KNOW THAT I'M FAR RICHER
THAN A MAN WITH ALL HIS GOLD
I'VE SEARCHED THIS WIDE WORLD OVER
FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA
FINALLY FOUND EDWARDS MOUNTAIN
AND THAT'S WHERE I WANT TO BE
UP AND DOWN, UP AND DOWN CIRCLING
BUZZARDS AND VULTURES AROUND
WHISPERING TREES AND GRASSES
I WANT TO HEAR THIS SOUND
GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN
AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA
THEN HE MADE EDWARDS MOUNTAIN
JUST ESPECIALLY FOR ME
YOU CAN LIVE ON THE PLAINS OR THE PRAIRIES
OR EVEN DOWN BY THE SEA
I LIVE AT EDWARDS MOUNTAIN
IT WILL ALWAYS BE HOME TO ME
HAVE ALL YOUR PAVED STREETS AND SIDEWALKS
HAVE ALL YOUR BRIGHT LIGHTS AND CARS
LET ME STAY AT EDWARDS MOUNTAIN
BENEATH THE MOON AND THE STARS
GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA
THEN HE MADE EDWARDS MOUNTAIN
JUST ESPECIALLY FOR ME
YOU CAN LIVE ON THE PLAINS OR THE PRAIRIES
OR EVEN DOWN BY THE SEA
I LIVE AT EDWARDS MOUNTAIN
IT WILL ALWAYS BE HOME TO ME
-
My friend Edgar knew me well, he found the perfect words.
Texas, good weather, good people and good friendship.
Howgh - I have spoken -

Get water facts, water conservation is cost-effective, environmentally sound to reduce water demand. Water conservation stretches supplies, protects lakes, rivers. Using less water = less pressure on sewage treatment facilities. Water conservation = less energy for water heating, saving water saves energy; energy used for pumping, treating water. Save energy with water conservation. US Electricity production from fossil fuels is used for US freshwater withdrawals. Humans need water - drinking water has health benefits - learn about Earth's permanent water cycle. Water Pollution reduces healthy drinking water supply, endangers human health, oil from tankers, oil spills endanger life on Earth

Main ingredient of air is Nitrogen, essential for life on Earth. Nitrogen fertilizer helps crops that feed livestock to grow. Overuse of nitrogen fertilizer produces greenhouse gases, causing warmer climate. Nitrogen fertilizer washed into rivers, oceans causing algae bloom, killing marine life - responsible use of nitrogen fertilizer is strongly needed
CO2 levels were never higher - CO2 carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas - an aerosol that works as an insulator in Earth's atmosphere trapping heat. CO2 causes warmer oceans, warmer temperatures, more hurricanes, violent weather Fight pollution and high carbon dioxide levels with nature education, lower CO2 levels through renewable energy. Protect our environment: Air + water + land pollutants endanger future life on Earth
Global Dimming is one part of climate change . BSB international non profit Bear Springs Blossom nature conservation takes action on global dimming. Global dimming reduces the heating up of Earth. Global Dimming caused by air pollution factors: Burning fossil fuels fast in huge amounts. Air pollution facts: Visual particles reduces sunlight to hit Earth = global dimming = smog. Pollutants + aerosols cause human illnesses as asthma, heart disease, respiratory sickness, cancer, Parkinson, Alzheimer globally. Global action + global solutions: Fight global warming, climate change, global dimming
Methane is a gas, natural to Earth. Methane is 20 times more potent as greenhouse gas, causing climate change, environmental changes, habitat loss, nature education science programs teach sustainable development with reduced methane gas emissions
Dioxin, furans are highly toxic poisonous chemicals released by burning fossil fuels + plastic. Nature conservation reduces dioxins that harm all living beings, can cause cancer, skin problems, birth defects
Cap and trade - governments try to reduce emissions to reduce the effects of climate change caused by burning fossil fuels with a regulatory system called cap and trade. Cap and trade should cap hazardous air pollution - certificates can be traded to lower output of power plants, factories. Air pollution is causing climate change, violent weather, hurricanes, world wide floods, tsunamis. Low air quality causes human illnesses as asthma, heart disease, respiratory sickness. Nature conservation is the only solution

how much does an acre of forest cost - how much is the real value of land - land resources, how much do you pay for healthy water, good air? How much will climate change + global warming cost? What price do we put on human health? International Nature education, conservation courses give answers, better health, more happiness, providing a safer future for Earth's children
