Charley,

Can you handle an early lunch?

We're gonna try to slip over to Bluebonnet Hill and play 18 after lunch.  It's less than 15 minutes from Ojos

I might be able to make it, Fearless.  I've got the kids at home this week but they're big enough for me to slip away for a bit.

Unless I have to actually work whilst at work.  That would suck.

It would be quite pleasant to see you again, Junior.  With your native Texan insouciance, you can help me temper the midwestern ebullience that could otherwise unnerve the skittish waitresses.

Heh!  You should bring your kids too.

I remember taking a couple of my ninos to Bone Daddy's when they were around 5 and 7.

Course the mean ol waitstaff stuck us in that little corner for little kids, ugly wives and drunken soccer fans.

hah, my brother's kids are in college these days - don't need them to charm the wait staff

Utee, that would be great if you could make it.

Might just be a couple hack golfers from NW Iowa, my brother might stay home to keep an eye on the smoker.  He doesn't play much golf.

BTW, I bumped into Burnt Eyes on messenger last night.... forgot that he was in Tennessee.

Thought he might be in Texas for the holidaze and could meet us in Austin or meet me later in Arlington

He seems happy where he's at.  I gave him a "Hook'em" and a corngrats after the Horns beat the Dawgs

Tennessee seems to be such an improbable place to live.

If I were to live outside of the ATX, I'd live in El Paso, Ft Davis or halfway up the mountain between Alamogordo and Cloud Croft.

He picked it due to its proximity to natural resources like fresh water and fertile farming land, as well as relative seclusion from population centers, for when the apocalypse occurs. Not kidding...

I was guessing he might have moved there to tell all those hillbillies who the real UT was ...

Really?  Wow!
I love Smokey.  I really do.  And if that was his reasoning, I respect it.
It is interesting though.
When my kids were small, we put them in Cub Scouts because I remembered scouting as a kid and thought they'd like it.   Weird thing was most of the other families in our Pack and later in our Troop were of the home schooling/gun hoarding/anti-government/conspiracy theory variety.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.  It's a free country and everybody is entitled to their opinion.  Just seems to me it would take so much energy and effort to live in constant fear like that.  Having a little faith in my future kind of frees me up to be a lazy couch potato.

Yup.
People that dislike the current president believe we're only a hair's breadth away from certain destruction.
Just like the people that disliked the previous president thought the same.
The world keeps turning, things are largely unchanged for average Americans from one administration to another, but some people just like to fear stuff.

And there's only so much a person can control any way.

You can spend your whole life hoarding Campbell's Soup and be disappointed on your death bed that the Apocalypse didn't happen or you can enjoy life until you're obliterated.

I choose the latter.
