I love my Walmart stock. I love that people can buy goods at a very affordable

In this particular instance, do we need one over the aquifer?


I thought you might enjoy this quote ca. 1950, inscribed on the
monument in front of Barton Springs Pool....

"If I have to fight for this country, I will not fight for the flag,
or the American 'way of life', or democracy, or private enterprise or
for any other abstractions, which seem cold as kraut to me. But I will
fight to the last ditch for Barton Creek, Boggy Creek, cedar-covered
limestone hills, blazing star and bluebonnets, golden- cheeked
warblers and black-capped vireos... This love of your native land is
basic." - Roy Bedicheck

Woohoooo! Anybody that quotes Roy Bedichek is ok with me!

Anybody who hasn't read "Adventures With a Texas Naturalist" should,
IMHO. Available at Austin Public Library.

And I need to re-read it myself.
