It is about building a plan with options, and knowing exactly what to do with the space you do have. Ability and confidence come from having a solid plan before the sky turns green. Your preparedness helps figure all of that out, stripping things down to the essentials and…

To the informed readers of the Declaration—mainly penned by Thomas Jefferson, but with the help of others—it is evident that Jefferson borrowed concepts and language from John Locke in terms of rights, the role of government, and consent. In order to critique the British government and argue a case for independence, Jefferson borrowed from Locke’s social contract theory to demonstrate the limited role of…

Of the 15 Western states home to mountain lions, Texas is the only one without a formal management plan for the species — or even a rough idea of a statewide population estimate. Because the state classifies them as non-game animals, there are few regulations around cougars, which can be killed at any time with no limits on take.
