The most populated city in the world - when major urban areas are included - is Tokyo, with 30 million residents.
And Now You Do

Actually, there are some similarities between Aspen, Colorado and Kerens, Texas. For example, if you were to make Kerens singular instead of plural, the number of letters in each city name would be exactly the same. No doubt about it, twin cities.
It is nice for us Texans to have such a great State National Park up there above the Red River in the Rocky Mountains. What in the world would happen to the Colorado economy without us folks from the Lone Star State? During the five days I was visiting during the Rural Telecom 2000 Conference, I only had to call the Chamber of Commerce and complain one time. That was on Monday after discovering on Sunday the Dallas Cowboy football game was not televised in Aspen. It was fairly easy to make the point that us Texans would not be using the Colorado Parks as often if they continued to take the attitude that any other team in America should be televised other than America’s Team itself. How could they be so naïve?

She is very loving and very much missed. No questions asked, I just want her back. She's a talker too. If you have seen her please contact me at:

Not sure, but I think I forgot to mention last week what an outstanding job the Kerens Parade Chairman (or is it Chairwoman?) did last week at Homecoming 2000. Wasn’t that a great parade! Karen Derden, you did good and that was an extremely impressive job you accomplished. I will put that parade up against any small town event anywhere, anytime. To all the people who took the time to prepare a float or dress up your vehicle (or horse) and ride down Main Street, what an atmosphere of hometown enjoyment you created. Your gift and your reward is the pride that people took home with them after seeing their hometown dressed up like a girl at her first dance. She sure was pretty too.

Here it is, the next incarnation of your classic horror movie with a group of teenagers that have a hard time making it to the end of the movie. And speaking of the end of the movie, surely you have noticed that the length of these two dollars flicks is determined solely by the number of teenagers with which you begin the movie. No doubt about it.

The Kerens Homecoming 2000 event is over and I know for a fact there are many satisfied people sitting at home resting having accomplished this monumental task. Wasn’t it fun on Saturday just seeing all the people in town? For those of you whom were unable to make the trip to Kerens, you have no idea what you missed. It was spectacular, it was awesome, you could not hear yourself talk on Main Street at noon the noise level was so high. When the PA system was turned on after the parade for the Alumni Center building dedication, you could not even hear the speech that was being presented by the Master of Ceremonies, Coach James Kelley. It was a great beginning for Kerens in the dawn of this 21st century and we set a standard for small town America to measure themselves against. That’s right, Kerens, Texas is setting the pace.

Books: From A Buick 8
by Stephen King

Published 2002; Pages 356; Rating: Good
Stephen King's first published book after the car accident that almost cost him his life. The accident where he was strolling down the side of the road and a lunatic not watching what he was doing ran over him. Or rather hit him and knocked him out of his watch and stripped the change from his pocket. The hat he had been wearing was found 20 yards from where he was found.

Getting Ready for Homecoming

Saturday morning I tried to cross Main Street in Kerens on foot, bumped into someone who was also trying to get across the street, and then had to stop and wait for traffic. A traffic jam? It struck me at that moment that more than the landscape of downtown had changed since KESA activities ramped up to begin this new century. There were people everywhere on Main Street Saturday.

Did you notice all of those clouds over Main Street last Saturday? At first we did not know what they were, we haven’t seen any in so long. But it sure cooled things down a bit. An egg would have only sizzled if one was cracked on the sidewalk instead of being fried to a dark brown like they did a couple of weeks ago. With it only being around 90 degrees in the shade, it kind of made you feel like running to the house and grabbing a sweater. Know what I mean? Anyway, we did not have to eat eggs at lunch because Jimmy and Jo Tyner bought us a big box of fried chicken that was finger tasting good while being served in the Kerens Garden Park. Thanks Jimmy, you and Jo are fine people.

The problem with designing a dress (as I overhead an expert dress designer say once) is how do you design one to fit them all? It’s kind of hard to put suspenders on most women like you can a man and just let the britches hang. You know what I mean?
Well, the analogy here is how many pixels do you allow for a graphic when designing for so many different monitors and monitor settings? (an obvious analogy of course)

The Kerens Ex-Students Association had an important Board of Directors meeting Saturday morning and we met in highly professional new surroundings as well. Where did we meet? Well, just this once I will give you a hint. Each of the Board of Directors right now can give you a highly detailed overview of what the women’s restroom looks like in the Alumni Center building. Actually, it looks real nice and is going to look even better.

I hope everyone has noticed all the great activities for kids the Kerens Public Library has been providing this summer. I know baseball and other sporting activities are first and foremost in the little ones minds during the summer, but a good reading program just cannot be overlooked for the impact it can provide. It can help them now, it can help them when they are adults, and it can help them throughout their lives to enjoy and see the world through other people’s eyes. Reading is without question one of the greatest joys of life.

I had planned on writing a column about literature today, but as chance would have it something else is occupying my thoughts this afternoon. We had a day off this weekend from downtown building construction and I finally had the opportunity to make a trip to the hospital and visit an old friend of mine. A person to whom I personally owe more than one could ever repay, and a person to whom the City of Kerens owes even more for a lifetime spent in Community service.
