For some reason, Texans have gained a worldwide
reputation for being very shut-mouthed or very big liars.
Generally, they’re represented as being windy as March in
Amarillo, especially when talking about their native state. |

There is a lot of talk these days about
"sharing the wealth". Some bleeding hearts think we
ought to divide what we have with those nations that don't
have much. That way we would all have a fair amount and
everybody would be comfortable. |

Pennsylvania sign painters do good work until time
comes to setting the arrow. Signs going to the summit of
"Lookout Peak" point toward the dropoff at
"Angel Falls." At $35 to half-sole a pair of boots
and the same amount of dough to top off a gas tank, the
cheapest way to get around the state is to hire a guide. Just
be sure he’s not connected to the state’s highway
department, or you may be added to the missing person file. |

So there I was taking a snapshot of my
brother-in-law. He was standing in front of drawings on a cave
wall. The cave was isolated, well hidden, inaccessible and not
known to many 21st century travelers. |

We've always admired Pest Control's housecat manners. She
never steps foot into the kitchen; she stays off the table;
the wastebasket full of good smells doesn't tempt her; and she
never begs for table scraps. I think she's spoiled us.
I can't say the same for our new cat, Yard Kitty. |

As a Greenhand in the FFA my first project was raising
two feeder lambs. After cleaning their pen daily for 90 days,
always making sure they had plenty of alfalfa hay and cull
lima beans, and generally treating the lambs like they were
family, I lost $13 apiece. It was a good introduction to the
livestock business. |

Tuckered ... as in "I’m plumb tuckered out."
Now, being tuckered out is not the same as being "worn
out" (same as "wore out") or "beat,"
although all these expressions are used to convey a state of
mental, physical, or emotional fatigue ... sometimes all
three. |
