Lots of dog stories have made the
rounds for years, usually about the intellect of
our four-footed friend. Next time you get to
feeling superior to your mutt, remember who he
has supporting him. It just goes to show how
smart they are. Like the fellow who raised a dog
that was so smart that while he was being
paper-trained, he learned to read. |

The old Monfort lamb packing plant
in San Angelo sold for a second time last year.
Moslem investors bought the operation to process
goats, a meat they hold in high esteem. Quite a
stir prevailed in the lamb packing circles around
town over the deal, fearing not only product
competition, but more strain on an already tight
job market. |

Robby eases by, tradin' and
trainin' a few horses — doin' day work and
helpin' out. He lives in a cow-college town with
a pretty good rodeo team. |

As
I See It ...
Our temperate winters are one of
the good things about living in this part of the
country. Oh, there's the occasional ice storm or
extended cold spell, but rare is the day when we
can't get out and about by mid-morning. Folklore
and tradition tell us there are heavy winter
rains that keep folks at home, but those have
been few and far between in recent years. I think
the rains are mostly myth. |

We are reminded every four years in this
country that anyone can become president: As long
as you're male, white and are not too picky about
your friends. If the job really is open to all
comers, American Cowboy Magazine asks the
question ... "Why not a cowboy?" And
the stimulating publication has launched a
campaign to elect one of our own instead of the
tinhorns currently posing as potential
presidents. |
