(Editor's note: Rick Watson, who wrote this weekly column and served as a reporter and photographer on our staff, died suddenly early Thursday morning. That night we discovered Rick had written a final column, and had printed it out for his wife, Jilda, to look at before he emailed it to us. She has graciously passed it along to us, so that we may all have a final amusement from our friend and co-worker. )

• It looks like Jim Borden and Michael Pate had a good, close runoff race in District 3. But in the end Borden pulled it out with 157 votes out of 2,683 ballots, so don't say every vote doesn't count. The total turnout in the district was a quarter of the 10,216 votes that turned out for the runoff races in the county, so I imagine that the U.S. Senate race also stirred up interest as well.
