The last part of the week seemed to be filled with bad news, much of it related to drugs. The courts in town seem to always be busy with drug-related cases. This week was no exception. An entire local family got into trouble messing with illegal substances. Maybe it will be a wake up call for them that will turn their lives around for the better.
Local police say crime has a tendency to pick up during the holidays.
A lot of things contribute to that, but the main point is that maybe we should be a little more alert to possible problems this time of year. In our continual quest to improve the Pecos Enterprise sometimes we are not totally successful. Due to changes being made in how we develop some of our materials, at the beginning of this week we found ourselves without material for the daily horoscope and the crossword puzzle. We immediately heard from irate devotees of these two sections. They were very upset that their favorite part of the newspaper had been left out.
