All too true couplets stage a coup in LBJ’s coupe de ville…seems very honest, well conceived, with a few tall tales mixed in? I gotta check out the cb’s in the bathrooms though, i’ll bet that’s too fun. I miss Texas in the Austin/San Marcos area!

A local lawyer friend, though, showed me this old old pic of his dad and mom on their honeymoon where he’s holding a rifle and there’s like 20 prarie dogs lined up on the stepping rail of their Studebaker…he’s smiling, she’s not…only in Texas. Misener does the same thing in Michigan but with lampreys…

One last thought, before I shut up:
I LOVE TEXAS. *i*can’t*wait*
HOUSTON (Reuters) – A grand jury in South Texas indicted U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and former attorney General Alberto Gonzales on Tuesday for “organized criminal activity” related to alleged abuse of inmates in private prisons.

I have a special place in my heart for the word “retarded”. I especially liked that line.

Show us something new!

Sometimes we get perfect weather. Like we did today and you get reminded why you live somewhere. Someone asked me if I had a copy of my first book and I’ve got a couple boxes, but then the person disappeared and I was stuck staring at a copy and starting flipping through it and thought, “Hey, that was a fun poem to write, maybe I’ll post it on a perfect day in Texas. See what H and H thinks.”

That’s it.

Yummy.

You stole my imagery before I even came up with it. Great job reconstituting common objects with things like catfish bones and cactus. And retarded things.
