Austin! Please call authorities if you’ve seen Hunter and help bring him home safely. His mother reached out to me, as he has been missing for five days, and we need to get the word out.

Guns are a uniquely American problem. The rest of the world has mental health issues. The rest of the world has ideological & philosophical division. They have social media, pot, porn, cellphones & video games. What they don’t have — is more guns than people, they don’t have…

The Bastrop County Complex wildfire was 12 years ago; it killed 2, destroyed 1,673 homes, & did ~$325M in damage. A dozen years later, our wildfire threat is again very high so we must work together to prevent a repeat of 2011. Learn more: ATXWildfire.com 📷Kerri West
