Last weekend’s comparatively hot temperatures alerted the serpents that it’s time to emerge. Odessa Public Works crews ran into a snake near the town treatment plant Monday, May 1.

Though most canned foods are edible beyond the stamped date, the do begin to lose flavor and change texture. Canned black beans are often pushed to the back of the pantry because they were bought for a specific recipe that is not in season now. The beginning of outdoor events is a glimmer on the horizon, and soon, side dishes for picnics and barbeques will be in demand....
