Thirteen is associated with black
cats and bad luck — ask any taxpayer in
America. Proposition 13, the tax revolt passed in
California many years ago, finally elevated this
maligned, misunderstood, mystical number to its
rightful position as a magical weapon for the
forces of good, and the same thing appears to
have already happened with the alien problem. |

All along the way on the Irish trip,
the bus depots sold copies of the Irish
Independent, or The Irish Times. At
the University in Galway, The London Times covered
world news better than the Irish sheets. However,
the national press offered a better feel for
local happenings and business reports. |

To put national disasters in
perspective including flood, fire, drouth, wind,
earthquake, volcano, pestilence and boils, the
Bible records God's first choice was flood. |

As
I See It ...
I enjoy the pro football season. I
sometimes stop what I'm doing and watch a play,
or even a series or two. In a really good game, I
can pay close attention to a whole quarter and
enjoy every minute of it. But sometimes when the
game is over, I'll have to ask what teams were
playing. |

One of my biggest pet peeves is that
people uneducated in the animal sciences
frequently refer to every member of the bovine
family as a "cow." This is akin to
calling every human a "mom." Not that
there's anything wrong with being a mother. It's
just that we can't all be one. Some of us are
bulls, steers and heifers. |

Deer season opens this coming Saturday.
The date is savored by many Texas landowners
about the same way as a phone call from the
Internal Revenue Service. At T minus six days and
counting, I still saw flatbed trailers with new
deer blinds and corn feeders en route to
somebody's back forty. Nothing like waiting til
the last minute, eh? |

Cowboys can use computers for a lot of
things, good and bad. The Internet and E-commerce
give you access to the entire world in all of its
aspects. One of the good things is the use for
E-vangelism. This word was used by one of the
many magazines I get every day to express the
growing use of the Internet for evangelism
purposes. |
