Workin’ harder than a funeral home fan in July
Largest Ball of Barbed Wire = Close substitute for Largest Ball of Twine. While I’m dreaming and planning, I’ll share a little bit of the massive King Ranch in Kingsville.

Why is it called Tourist Season if we can’t shoot at them?
The unique touristy stores were full of great knick-knacks, but the throngs of rude tourists and frustrated store clerks prompted a hasty retreat. Hence my question: Why is is called tourist season if we can’t shoot at them?
But, wait! There's more...Time to get out of Dodge.
It’s time to get out of Dodge. There’s a storm a brewin’ and I’m a goin’.
If you watch the Weather Channel at all you may have seen that central Texas is now marshland. It’s like a doughnut of land with a lake in place of the doughnut hole.
But, wait! There's more...There’s a town called Oatmeal. I am not making this up.
Really, there is a town called Oatmeal in Texas Hill Country. No, I don’t know why they named the town after a breakfast cereal. And, not far from Oatmeal, there is a dinosaur in Bertram. I don’t know if she likes oats.

But, wait! There's more...Why DID the chicken cross the road?

But, wait! There's more...A BIG Dime in a Box in Dime Box, Texas. Not making this up.
There it was: A big dime, about two feet across, in a big plexiglass box – in Dime Box, Texas.
