Editor’s note: We see them every day in our community, driving green and white vehicles, bolting through the desert, flying in helicopters, and roaring across the terrain in ATVs. They’re the men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol, and the job is non-stop. To get a better idea of what their world is like, we sent a reporter and photographer to where it all begins: the U.S. Border Patrol Academy in Artesia, N.M. They talked to a new recruit, now stationed in Douglas, watched physical and classroom training, and asked a lot of questions to get a feel for what life is like during three months of rugged training. They also visited the U.S. Border Patrol Museum in El Paso, Texas.

Never look down your nose at a Twinkie or, for that matter, a twinkie. Twinkies, the sponge cake with creamy filling, were invented in 1930 by a baker in Schiller Park, Ill. But twinkies, the pushover opponents scheduled as a guaranteed win by hungry college football teams, were invented much earlier and were called something else. Suckers, for example, as well as patsies and pigeons. Sitting ducks.

It sounds like a dumb question. Of course it does.
