Thanks for sharing it was a good read...can't help but wonder if Hawk ever left that station...I understand about mountains coming into view...when we travel back home from Midessa just East of Pecos the Davis Mountains come into view and we know we're about an hour away from home, lunch, coffee, and the cats...most definitely our opportunity to return to our peace and quiet in our little part of the world...Be Safe, Brother...
I know that feeling well, Frank. I've never lived in the Davis Mountains but I get out there often and every time I approach my BP ticks lower. I'll be in Alpine in two weeks for the Cowboy Poetry Festival, riding my motorcycle out. I need to decamp Austin and go west.
More great writing, Jim, and a profound question at the heart of the story: how can a country, so blessed by Providence with natural and human resources and the safety of two oceans to develop them, still fail its people in so many ways?

I blame it on greed, the most basic of modern human emotions.
Thanks JB. I love reading the stories of your travels, then and now. Keep it up.
Thanks, amigo. I sure appreciate your support reading my stuff.
Rise Safe and watch out for the idiot cage drivers coming this way...
A great, sad story. Felt like I was there. Our national motto could be A great, Sad, Unfulfilled Story
And it's getting harder to watch this story unfold, buddy.
Thanks Jim Bob. I love your travel stories. I like your political commentary, but not as much as the travel stuff. Keeep at it, please.
Appreciate the kind words, Bruce. I'm not going anywhere and the writing is a kind of compulsive thing that will be hard to stop.
