A child of the Southwest and of the 50s -- a woman who knew me well once said, 'Yeah, the 1850s.' Generally culturally conservative and distrustful of new and improved innovative change. Very seldom overtly serious, but many a truth is spoke in jest and all of my truths are. Worked my way through UT when I was up in my 30s. If I'd, by some horrible miscalculation ended up in Bryan, I would've worked my way through that school over there. Have worked all over in printing and publishing. I've held a bunch of jobs and quit all of them but one. I am a journeyman printer and followed the trade and heard its dying gasps as it was throttled by technological change. I had a sponsored blog on a newspaper but quit the job.
Walking around my village, you will see constant reminders of the great cycle of things. Herself caught this reminder a week or past.

A pilot sez........garballs. Though that part does appear to have been lopped off. Oh, and oyster peels. I see a photo of two things that live side by side in the food chain........I think I once stood on that spot, except in in a little town in Baja Louisiana called Port Arthur.....or maybe where Bayou Teche empties into the marsh, or maybe by Tyra's house......or maybe mine.

One not securely anchored says . . .a retired shrimper told me that any time you are eating fish patties these days, you're eating gar. Who knew?
