Had I just joined the forum this morning, it might be easy to resort to name calling and labeling, or to form opinions about folks unfounded in fact but based solely on emotion. It has been my good fortune however, to rub shoulders with Bob Lusk and highflyer in 100 degree heat in Indiana, drill holes through 12" of ice on a frozen lake in Illinois with Fireishot, and risk being run over with Mike Otto while rescuing a broken down piece of equipment alongside a highway in Nebraska.
To the last man, these individuals carried themselves in the same manner. Extremely knowledgeable, equally willing to share as well as listen, modest, open to ideas other than their own, passionate with their beliefs while extending compassion towards another point of view, and always, always willing to work together. I have never had the pleasure of meeting Dave Davidson, but I feel very confident I would find him to be cut from that same piece of cloth. Texans to the last man.
As I type this, another Texan prepares to walk the new path into the greener woods. From a single photo posted yesterday, I can see peace, determination, dignity, and a smile. When the time arrives for me to walk that same path, I hope I can lace up my boots in a similar fashion.
These six gentlemen define the qualities that come to mind when I think of Texas. Or Indiana. Or our country for that matter. Thankfully I'm aware that all places, have all kinds. I don't have to resort to snap judgements based on incomplete information.
And those six guys from Texas? They aren't wasting time posting to this thread. Which goes to show they are a lot smarter than I am.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.
