at 9 am at Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge.  The weather was overcast and a steady bay breeze of 15-20 miles per hour and began the several mile long drive to the main entrance gate.  As I began my drive the ground fog was lifting and the air felt a bit cool I saw a Black Vulture on a powerline pole.  At the next pole I saw a Crested Caracara and then a large Red-tailed Hawk.  Things looked very good for this trip with birds active everywhere I had already seen 14 different kinds of birds.  Since I’m not a “good birder” I knew that four or five more kinds of birds had eluded my meager identification skills.  A large to the right of me revealed Roseate Spoonbills I parked my car near the entrance gate and waited for Dave.  As I waited Snow Geese flew overhead going to breakfast somewhere to the east.  He arrived shortly and we took a walk through the butterfly garden and Skullcaps showing their colored glory in small doses We then walked to a small pond.  Before we knew it we had seen more than a half-dozen Bullfrogs.  Their heads were barely out of the water.  Some called “reep” as they leaped from the side of the pond into the water because we had disturbed them flitted through low vegetation.  Blue-gray Gnatcatchers pulled Giant Ragweed seeds from dead plants right in front of us.  These were wonderful signs that Nature continued despite the eruption of human arrogance and craziness that my daily life revealed After walking back from the butterfly garden and frog pond we loaded up our gear and I backed out of the parking lot to begin our auto tour.  Or I began to back out.  To the left of our parking space is a building where you can buy t-shirts books about birds and Nature.  There also are several signs at the end of the parking lot before you get to the building red and black bird that I knew instantly.  Several years before I had seen this bird in the butterfly garden.  The Vermillion Flycatcher looked straight at me as if to welcome me to Anahuac for the day I pointed out the Vermillion Flycatcher to Dave and we both ooded and aahed.  I felt like an old friend had surprised me with his/her presence.  I recovered my cool and we began our auto tour.  As we drove to the freshwater marsh we saw a Great Blue Heron and Red-winged Blackbird familiar denizens of this watery landscape We circled Shoveler Pond and nearby areas and saw countless birds including: Swamp Sparrow; the birds seemed endless as we continued our tour dozens of American Alligators either sunned themselves on vegetated islands or propelled themselves along in the water like submarines in search of prey.  Down near East Bay we saw two White-tailed Kites as we drove along West Line Road with a few bright blooming goldenrods and Fire-wheels lining the right-of-way We finished the trip by driving into the town of Anahuac and having a Tex-Mex lunch.  What a great day and what a great way to loosen the bonds of civilization and slip into the comfortable and varied topography of Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge.  Always a pleasure and delight for these sore eyes and quiet longing ears Renew Sierra Club® and "Explore, enjoy and protect the

people know what their legal rights are They can listen to the ads and find out how they can recover their medical bills and get paid for their pain and suffering," Adler said "We call ourselves safety lawyers," Adler said "Want to keep the world safe for Texans."  Having previously filmed a commercial where he jumped from a bridge onto a moving 18-wheeler Adler is willing to do many out-the-box stunts If Adler was asked to jump from a parachute He is very cool and Bill is the same way," Herba said The crew began working on the latest commercial in January The agency starts with a concept or an overall idea that transcends into all forms of media the crew begins fine-tuning details to prepare for production "But it worked great because we got to do all the crazy stuff we wanted

Kenny Benitez Filming for the commercial was at FM 562 S "I'm amazed that they're able to close the whole highway in order to do this production but it's not a big deal because they can detour around and have no problem," said Modesto "Butch" White a trustee for Saint Paul United Methodist Church "I started practicing in 1973 when the dinosaurs still roamed the Earth," Adler said with a laugh "I decided that I would start advertising in 1977 when the Supreme Court said it was legal and ethical for lawyers to advertise."  Adler was deciding between a master's in business administration or law school as his father was a lawyer "I just decided I would get a law degree so it would widen my horizons and I would have more job opportunities," Adler said Jim Adler and Associates has about 300 employees including 35 to 40 lawyers and about 80 case managers Adler's team helps many people throughout Texas Bill Adler follows in his father's footsteps "We got a great family business and I've

the Virgin of Guadalupe gave to these lands because her apparition was not only a miracle but also a message of fraternity she invites us to recognize that we are all pilgrims searching for light in the midst of our nights guided by the certainty that Mary welcomes us under her mantle Just as Juan Diego found answers on his journey each pilgrim is called to reflect on the direction of their life and their commitment to others remembering that true hope is born of encounter In this spirit, pilgrims were given the opportunity to pass through the “Jubilee of Hope” doorway in the Basilica of Guadalupe a symbol of spiritual renewal and of trust and faith that God accompanies us on our journey The distinctive orange color of the pilgrims' T-shirts not only identified the Anahuac but also became a symbol of unity and hope The final message of the mass emphasized the responsibility of each student to bear witness to this hope in their communities and to transform the society in which they live through their education and values the Anahuac community concluded their pilgrimage with the certainty that the Virgin accompanies every pilgrim and that her loving gaze is a beacon that
