Story Time with Reavis: Like Mystery Science Theatre

2 weeks ago | theparisnews.com | Reavis Wortham

‘This person in front of us has to be on their phone,” I said to Woodrow, who occupied my truck’s passenger seat. He’d settled in with snacks and drinks for the trip from our house to the White River in Arkansas. He spoke in an unrecognizable voice that reminded me of Squiggie, talking for the driver. kAm“w6==@] w6C6 x 2> 5@@5=:?8 2=@?8 96C6 `d >:=6D F?56C E96 DA665 =:>:E] s@@A 56 5@@A 56 5@@A[ H62G:?8 324< 2?5 7@CE9 =:<6 2 5CF?<[ D@ x 42?

Outdoors Commentary: A fisherman is gonna fish

2 weeks ago | theparisnews.com | Luke Clayton

For the past several months my friends, Jeff Rice and Larry Weishuhn, and I had looked forward to our annual trip to Lake Texoma to catch topwater stripers with Bill and Chris Carey’s Striper Express guide service. The trip is always great fun with lots of fishing action. It gives us the opportunity to film a show for our weekly “A Sportsman’s Life” and also provides fodder for articles for Larry and I. kAm|2J :D AC:>6 E@AH2E6C E:>6 2?5 H92E 7:D96C>2?

Story Time with Reavis: Those fine old insults

3 weeks ago | theparisnews.com | Reavis Wortham

I watched Wrong Willie’s Yellow Humpy fly skitter across the Colorado stream. “You need to mend that line, dork.”That insult came to mind because we’d been talking about the good old days, when we were kids in the 1960s. Ignoring my advice, he lifted the fly and cast again. “Since when are you an expert fly fisherman, barf bag?”Several yards downstream, I flipped my own Humpy toward a little riffle leading down to a large rock.
Outdoors Commentary: Looking at nature in a different way

3 weeks ago | theparisnews.com | Luke Clayton

It's been one of those weeks that I've stuck pretty close to home and caught up on some past due writing, mostly on an article I'm working on pertaining to predation by raccoons. I've spent a couple of evenings with my thermal scope sitting near a corn feeder shooting digital photos of raccoons for the article. One evening I counted a total of eight ringtails under the feeder. Email outdoors writer Luke Clayton through his website, www.catfishradio.org.

Commentary: The comforting Texaco gas station

3 weeks ago | theparisnews.com | Sally Boswell

The other day, for no real good reason, my mind conjured up a memory from about 40 years ago, and for some reason it has kind of stuck with me. For four years from 1977 to 1981, I lived in Austin, first because I was in school there, and then because I wanted to live there and I got a job there, and I liked living in Austin. Even while I was going to school and working almost a full time job on top of that, I traveled back and forth from Austin to Paris on a quite regular basis.
