While I understand your impulse, I hope you don't quit completely. Your contribution remains important and Texas media pay little attention to environmental issues and land use, unless it's private property development rights, in part, because it is like shouting into the wind. I'm afraid, however, expecting the state to appeal is unlikely to happen. It will consider the case to be interfering with free enterprise, and, I suspect, the influential parties have probably already made the strategic political contributions. This is, after all, Texas.
I'm not quitting, I just think I have reached peak burnout. A little rest and recovering through the holiday season is in order, I believe. And thank you for the nudge to continue writing.

Well, I am kind of an expert on shouting into the Texas wind. But R and R is the right choice just now, probably. Always helps me.
Thanks for your leadership and communications on the Fairfield Lake debacle all year.
Whew, that meme is right where I am today.
Sounds like you are in need of rest. Have you ever read Katherine May's book, Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat During Difficult Times?
I have not but I did read one of her books recently and love her writing! I may check it out!
