The Smallest County in America...
Loving County, Texas is the least populous county in the entire United States with a 2020 population of 64. With an area of 677 sq mi (1,750 sq km), the population density is a mere 0.095 per sq mi (0.037 per km sq).

The county was first surveyed by John Pope in 1854 for the construction of a transcontinental railroad. A camp was established by Pope the following year and after three attempts at drilling for water, only one attempt proved successful. In 1858, Pope was ordered to abandon camp and the area was stationed by soldiers until the outbreak of the Civil War.

The county’s namesake, Oliver Loving, and Charles Goodnight drove cattle through the area in 1866, creating the Gooding-Loving Trail. Loving was shot by a Comanche native in 1867 and died of gangrene. For some time, the area was part of nearby larger counties before it was officially created in 1887, though some services would still be attached to Reeves County.

With the 1893 foundation of the Loving Canal and Irrigation Company in the settlement of Mentone, a petition was signed formally requesting the formation of the autonomous county. It was approved and Mentone became the county seat.

At the turn of the new century the county had 33 inhabitants, but swelled into the 200s in the decades that followed, peaking at 285 in 1940. The discovery of oil led to a population increase during this time, leading to a reorganization of the county.

By 1970, Loving County has received no federal funding in its history and its schools were still segregated by race. That year, the elementary school had 30 students and three teachers, and the 17 high school students studied in neighboring Winkler County.

By 2020, when the latest census was taken, Loving County’s population has fallen to only 64. In November of that year, it became the last county in the Lower 48 to confirm at least one case of COVID-19; over eight months since the pandemic emerged in the nation.

Loving County, due to its small size, remains largely bare. The county has no cemetery, and the only grave in the area is for Shady Davis, a 21-year-old cowboy who was killed by his horse and buried 12 miles from Mentone in the 1920s. The Loving County Courthouse (pictured) is the only two story building in the county, making it the tallest building as well.

As of 2020, 56 (or 87%) of the county population is white, there are no black inhabitants, 1 Native American, 1 Hispanic, and 6 mixed race or other race.

On this night...23 years ago,

246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning tomorrow. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift of saving lives.

None of them saw past 10:00 am Sept 11, 2001.

In one single moment life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, hug a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

Good Morning and Happy Labor day to alll.
Ever wonder how Labor Day came to be?
Labor Day was originally established to celebrate the achievements of American workers and to recognize their contributions to the prosperity, strength, and well-being of the country.
The first Labor Day was celebrated on September 5, 1882, in New York City, organized by the Central Labor Union.
The idea spread, and by 1894, 23 more states had adopted the holiday, leading to its recognition as a national holiday by President Grover Cleveland.
Today Labor Day is a recognition of American workers and also as the end of summer.
Happy Labor day everyone!

I don't live in the United States, I live in Texas,,,

“I have said that Texas is a state of mind, but I think it is more than that. It is a mystique closely approximating a religion. And this is true to the extent that people either passionately love Texas or passionately hate it and, as in other religions, few people dare to inspect it for fear of losing their bearings in mystery or paradox. But I think there will be little quarrel with my feeling that Texas is one thing. For all its enormous range of space, climate, and physical appearance, and for all the internal squabbles, contentions, and strivings, Texas has a tight cohesiveness perhaps stronger than any other section of America. Rich, poor, Panhandle, Gulf, city, country, Texas is the obsession, the proper study and the passionate possession of all Texans.” -John Steinbeck, 1962

What is it to be a Texan?
It is not a birthright. It is a state of mind! It is freedom, passion, love for others and love for the land. You can fulfill your dreams if you work hard. It is Dr. Pepper, cowboy hats, pride, humility and unconditional love. It is respecting nature and embracing it. It is being a steward as well as a servant. Most of all it is a bond and a brotherhood based on mutual respect and love for each other! It is accepting and embracing differences and sharing mutual interests. It is being proud of our heritage and our history. It is being friendly and happy for our fellow Texans and fighting to protect our way of life!

I never figured the world to be such a fan of Charlie Pride that they'd dedicate an entire month to him, but that works for me.

He was an amazing singer, musician, and baseball player.

In commemoration of Pride month, I'll play Charlie's hits at least once a week.

Tuesday May 9, 1989, I was in Phoenix, AZ and vividly remember this terrible announcement on the radio, as I was driving down the road. I have always loved Keith's music and life story. My fav song is probably, It Ain't Nothing, which was released 6 months, after we lost this great person.

The problem is that there is no future in being a dinosaur, but there is one hell of a past. My advice to you and your friends is be like the dinosaurs and leave deep footprints.
