The REAL Yellow Rose of Texas was photographed at my west fence line.
just south of the city limit of Abilene, Texas. No matter how delicate and
beautiful something growing in West Texas may appear to the casual
observer, if a careless tenderfoot messes with it, he's going to get hurt.

I'm due, possibly overdue - at my age time seems a lot less important
than it did when I rode the goat in Irving in the early sixties,
- my 40-year pin from Lodge 482 in Albany, Texas.

I'm looking forward to see how other brothers see this beautiful state of ours.
