If you should chance to visit the "Wild Man from
Borneo" exhibit in some carnival passing through your
town, ask the wild man if he once roamed the ranch country
around San Angelo. Maybe he’s learned to talk English by now
and could give you his version of this story: |

Pokin' Fun
It's duck hunting season, but I doubt that our
feathered friends are in any danger of extinction. "Sky
hunters" in our area fire magnum cannons with birdshot
patterns the size of a canned ham without ever ruffling a
feather. Sure, it's expensive, but as the old saying goes,
"Spending money without getting any joy out of it is
known as economy." |

In 1950, the R.E.A. strung wires across the 09
Divide, bringing an end to generators, wind chargers, and
Coleman lanterns. Doorbells and door knockers were the only
appliances separating us from city folks. Had we wired in a
bell, the clapper would have rusted from disuse. Living 22
miles from a post office with 15 miles of dirt track, we’d
bound from the house at the sight of dust or the sound of a
motor, to meet guests at the front gate. |

The Earth Summit met in Johannesburg, South
Africa. Its purpose was to find more ways to coerce or
convince industrial (rich) nations to give more money to Third
World (poor) nations. |

I don't appreciate the games being played with the
English language these days. I was in an antique store the
other day and asked the salesperson if a chair was an antique
and she replied, "It's an authentic antique
reproduction." |

I have good news and bad news. My atomic watch finally
came to life, and although I couldn’t get it set to Arizona
time, I left it on Texas time and it is still running okay. |

Hangin’ out…is what I was doing last week at the
Angelo Outdoor Arena, watching Bryan Neubert work with some
fresh colts he was helping folks start (or "break",
if you prefer). |
