His command of the English language was great, his words delicately chosen. “What the hell are you doing” he asked. We talked, the four of us, about what I was doing. After covering the basics of food, water, and shelter, our talk turned to El Paso and the US-Mexico border. Like chips at a Mexican restaurant, a border story is usually followed by another and another, each one as hot as the last. I remember one about a friend of theirs, a hunter.

The concrete chunks are the destroyed remains of the survey marker. Continued from page 6 CASA of Wise and Jack Counties CASA of of Wise and Jack Counties CASA of Wise and Jack Counties caine. I don’t vouch for the tale’s authenticity. But the men touched upon a fear that’s been getting closer and closer ever since I left Corpus Christi. To borrow Lucky Day’s words, El Paso had become my El Guapo. Fast forward to a few evenings ago. My panhandle tour in its final days, I walked out of the plains and into the desert landscape of West Texas. I camped out underneath a mesquite tree on a slope slightly beneath the level of the road. As the sunlight faded and a plethora of bugs and birds made a few last minute flights, I waited for the sky to fill with stars. Then I saw headlights. At an intersection I had passed not half a mile prior, a car stopped. The driver could have been doing anything – consulting a map, picking up his cell phone, looking for a tissue in the backseat of the car – but with the veil of a dozen border stories clouding my vision I could think of only a single explanation: drugs. When another vehicle approached in the distance, the car in question took off. The driver didn’t peel out, but he seemed intent on making a getaway. I ducked down as he passed. It had the feel of a close call, and though nothing had happened, I left early the next morning. I continued south to the lower left of the panhandle, trying to find the corner marker. What I found instead were the remnants of a survey site, a pile of cement chunks marked by a fading sign. Hidden in the jumble, I noticed something more, a canister. Good lord, it was even covered in camouflage tape. I reached for it, unscrewing the lid slowly. No coke. It was a geocache, a hobby-box for “treasure” seekers, filled with the signatures of people who, like me, were looking for the corner. I signed the register and left. The way I’ve acted, you’d think I was already on the Rio Grande, but it’s actually a couple of weeks away. These infamous border tales which currently share an edge with my imagination will soon be very real. My name’s not Lucky Day either. I will be careful; I will be quiet; I shall overcome my fear. !

The test, named after pioneering obstetrical anesthesiologist Virginia Apgar, evaluates a newborn’s physical condition. The Apgar score was the first standardized method for assessing a newborn’s transition to life outside his or her mother’s womb, and quickly identifies which newborns require emergency care. The score consists of five aspects of the newborn’s health (heart rate, respiratory effort, muscle tone, reflex response, and color), which are evaluated and given 0, 1, or 2 points each. Some refer to the five criteria “Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration” to arrive at an APGAR score, which ranges from zero to ten. The Apgar score provides an initial, clearly understood measure of a newborn baby’s health. Your obstetrician is a great resource for further questions about Apgar scoring and other newborn testing. For your obstetrical or gynecological care, call WISE OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY P.A. at 940-626-8008. Our office is conveniently located at 1713 South FM 51, Ste. 201, Decatur. New patients are welcome. P.S. An Apgar score is a delivery room tool and is not designed to make long-term predictions of a newborn’s health. 25 % off all fl oor care †† Excludes bags, belts, filters, carpet cleaning chemicals, Everyday Great Price items, closeouts and accessories.
