from the mailbag, while on the road:
sign: Sagittarius
Finally, someone that 1)admits to being in Texas, 2)doesn’t take himself SO seriously, 3)”talks Texan”!!!!, and yet, has good information!
Admits to being a Texan? Kind of hard to fool most the people I encounter. Admits to being in Texas? Where else would I be? I’ll even proudly claim to be a Sagittarius. Hot day in El Paso, a little breakfast at the Pastry Chef, just like last time, and little errand hopping, a little PR, a little hike in the hot sun. Went on a little hike up towards “Apache Caves” in the Franklin Mountains, my sandals were referred to as “Disciple Dirt Kickers.” Last time I heard anything like that was long time ago, then my sandals were called “Jerusalem Cruisers.” Grace and Bubba took me to dinner at JJ’s, sort of middle of the road Mexican food joint, but it did have, as promised by the Leo’s, stupendous hot sauce. A quick trip through the Indian Casino [Sunland Park race track & casino], and I wound up almost $50 ahead for the trip. I just hope the luck holds out. I would’ve been further ahead at those slot machines, but sometimes, I just don’t know when to quit.
