Did you hear “the newslady” works for The Highlander again? How cliché!
It's such a cliché but there's no other way to describe it. I've come full circle. Twenty years ago, I wrote for the paper-of-record overlooking a lake in a charming little town nestled in the hills.
Now in 2018, I again work for the paper-of-record in a charming “little” town . . . er . . . but not so little anymore.
Because several thousand more people.
Because a hotel now blocks much of the lake view.
Because one big bridge over Lake Marble Falls has turned into two.
Not-to-mention more stop lights than you can shake a stick at.
I digress.
For those who have lived here all their lives or at least for the last couple of decades, you may recall my tour of duty as a staff writer with The Highlander in 1998 and 1999.
