And I was very grateful to learn that they have a sense of humor. The first time I encountered this was when my uncle let me take the reins when he was plowing a field. The instant I took ahold of the reins, the horses knew I was a beginner, and they started misbehaving. And going into the wind, they both passed flatus, and then turned around and gave me horselaughs. A pinto I got for my daughters got loose, and when I went to try to grab her halter, turned on a dime, and kicked me on the sternum with both hind feet. If she had wanted to hurt me, I could have been killed. But she was just making fun of me, she just barely touched me.

All alone, I'm so all alone There is no one else but you All alone by the telephone Waiting for a ring, a ting-a-ling I'm all alone every evening All alone, feeling blue Wond'ring where you are and how you are And if you are all alone too Nice, but not the thing to cheer you up. Try this for balance: Happy talk, keep talking happy talk Talk about things you like to do You got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream How you gonna have a dream come true? Talk about the moon floating in the sky Looking at a lily on the lake Talk about a bird learning how to fly Making all the music he can make! Happy talk, keep talking happy talk Talk about things you like to do You got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream How you come not have a dream come true? Talk about the sparrow looking like a toy Picking through the broaches of a tree Talk about the girl, talk about the boy Counting all the ripples on the sea Happy talk, keep talking happy talk Talk about things you like to do You got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream How you come not have a dream come true? Talk about the boy saying to the girl Golly, baby, I'm a lucky cuss Talk about the girl saying to the boy You an' me is lucky to be us Happy talk, keep talking happy talk Talk about things you like to do You got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream How you come not have a dream come true? If you don't talk happy, and you never have dream Then you'll never have a dream come true!

But in the pulp magazine cowboy stories, there were brags about the Indian ponies by that name, which were noted for their endurance. and so prized as cowboys' saddle horses. The ones I have seen had large white and black areas in their coats.

"Saturday night is the lonliest night of the week..." Hey I thought I'd be the only woman here and I'd get some much desired attention, but ah shucks ewein's here too. But for me that's great because I enjoy her company and her humanity. After my hot date with Borders, time to go read a book, then off to S.F. en la manana, and then the unknown midwest following Lewis and Clark's trail. Hot cha cha.

Maybe we would all have attended if they had named it after something we could remember, I for one think it was named the Word-be-bop-a-loo-la, and the password was "she's my Baby". That's a joke. Yes, I know it's silly, but like I said, it's a slow night at the Dry Gulch Saloon. PS: Hey chem, do I remember you saying you lived in Wetumpka? Yesterday my pal Andy and me went to Wegufga, Alabama, about thirty miles from Wetumpka. Three things of interest... (1) Wegufga is a Creekian word for "muddy water". A muddy creek sill flows though the town. (2) After the Creeks were removed to Oklahoma, forty families of Cherokees were led by a half-breed named John Rice to Wegufga to escape their own removal to Oklahoma from Tennessee. (3) The only store still extant in Wegufga is a coke and gun store run by a young man whose mother was a full-blooded cherokee. He showed me her picture. She was very pretty. As a young girl she had lived in Birmingham for a short time in the mid-fifties. She was the first girl I ever kissed. Unbelievable!
