This simple little sack contains all that a parent (or a prospective employer) needs to drug test a person without having to go to a clinic or hospital.

There are so many great things happening in Llano! One major project that is underway is the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) upgrade to the traffic signals at the intersections of State Highway 16/71 with Ollie, Sandstone, and Main Streets. When I first came to Llano, several businesses approached me about the four lane road that ran in front of their businesses, leaving little room for patrons to park and disembark from their vehicles.

Dear Texas Senate,
It is unfortunate that you feel the need to vilify our Texas public schools because your top campaign contributions come from folks who are determined to see vouchers finally pass. Condemning our public schools and casting harsh accusations of widespread failure is not only disrespectful and counterproductive, it is just flat inaccurate.
Dear Editor,
A disturbing trend in Texas and across the nation is drawing attention from hunters and non-hunters alike – raising deer in captivity, much like livestock, and then releasing them to be hunted as little as 10 days later. Extreme animal husbandry practices such as repeated forced semen collection, artificial insemination, bottle raising, and often cavalier use of drugs to create abnormally large antlers are common in this industry, but have no place in wildlife management.
Anytime I ask someone in Llano County about their internet access, I generally hear one or more of the same stories: "Internet access in Llano County is too expensive, too slow, is unreliable, or it is not available at all". Whether you believe the Google statistic that Llano County is 966 sq.

Continuing to examine the unique aspects of Llano County from PAST years and in PRESENT times brings the project alphabetically to the letters "I " through "L."
"I" is for IRON BOOM. This subject has already been introduced in the Historical Era section. Without a doubt, this period in the history of Llano County goes almost unprecedented in the majority of the 254 counties in Texas.
This is the time of year when tale spinners come out of the woodwork with conspiracy theories about the authenticity of the resurrection of Christ. As always, when the dust clears, the fictions fall and the resurrection stands.
Why is this repeatedly true? What makes the resurrection so hard to bring down?
This week I heard of a place that always greeted people with, "Have a blessed day." I have heard that addressed to me and I have said it back many times. On the surface, this looks like a very wonderful, encouraging and positive thing to do and I am all for it.
