Seattle? Yep. I know the town pretty well. Compared to West Texas, it’s nature gone nuts due to never ending rain. On nice days, people there say “Enjoy the sun.” Instead of “ Have a nice day.”

Granddaughter married a Navy Submariner and they were there for about 14 years. Since they are now in Hawaii, I expect it will be our last time there.

Once, in a cafe the waitress asked where I was from. My accent clued her. When I said Texas, she immediately asked if I owned a gun. I said more like 30 or 40. She had never met a gun owner and had a lot of questions. Different world there.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
