Democrats and Republicans are very nervous this year.
Experienced politicians are taking trips outside their home
state. They know better than to stay home where people know
their voting record.

Eight years ago, I faced the wide gap of exchanging
ranch money for travel money. Started traveling to off-season
places to make my coin stretch. Reduced my ranch business
enough to have more money to spend. Also played the slumps in
the economy to an advantage. |

On The Edge Of
Common Sense
When I was a kid, school lasted forever, and
Christmas always seemed eons away. But the older I get, the
faster time seems to pass. |

Cowboy Charlie, Johnny, Spud and I were sitting in the
Branding Iron Cafe solving all the world's problems when an
old friend approached. I casually introduced him as "a
lemon rancher" to the assortment of agriculturists at my
table. |

The West Texas Deer Study Group was conceived on a
gray, somber day back in October 1997. Greg Simons, Ruben
Cantu, Steve Nelle, and I were returning from Hunt after
attending Donnie Harmel’s funeral. |

The Computer
& The Cowboy
One reason more of you don’t use a computer is that you
don’t type.
Rex Gaggino and his wife ranch near Throckmorton. We visited
with them, and when I complained that I never get e-mail from
him so I don’t know if he is getting the mail I send, he
said he gets all my mail. He just doesn’t respond because he
hates to type on his keyboard.
