Texas Horned Lizards.
You know what you called them growing up, and it wasn't Phrynosoma cornutum. Thank you, Texas Christian University, for being a cheerleader for the "horned frog." Thanks to Texas Parks & Wildlife's Chaparral Wildlife Management Area and the Horned Lizard Conservation Society for being a horny toad's best friends.

Texas Rose Rustlers.
They steal nothing, except beauty from obscurity. These rustlers rescue vintage roses from abandoned homesites and rural cemeteries where they've bloomed as forgotten wall flowers in the dance of breezes. Capitalism proves the best fertilizer for these old roses. The Antique Rose Emporium in Independence spreads their venerable beauty and fragrance to new gardens.

Summer Mummers.
You can throw popcorn and hiss at the villain and cheer for the hero at "Summer Mummers." The Midland Community Theatre stages this locally scripted melodrama in which popcorn and Odessa jokes rain down like West Texas hail.
