"Lonesome Dove"

Texas Monthly magazine referred to it as The Anthem of Texas. Scenes in the series are based on historical facts surrounding Charles Goodnight and Oliver Loving. During the Civil War longhorn cattle were feral, in most parts of Texas. Goodnight rounded them up and drove them to market. Often 2000 head, or greater. Loving joined Goodnight later in the quest.

There was a black cowboy Goodnight trusted completely. Goodnight would have the black cowboy carry the gold payment on his way back to Weatherford, TX. No white raider would ever suspect a black man would be entrusted with the gold. Deets was this character in "Lonesome Dove".

There really was a fight with the Comanches in the Pecos river. There really was a cowboy that set out on foot, to seek help. Oliver Loving was found and carried to Ft.Sumner. That would be the character Agustus McCray. One of the finest characters to ever bless us with his presence on screen. Played by Rodert Duvall.

Loving requested that he not be allowed to remain in a foreign land (New Mexico). Goodnight did vow to haul him back to Texas, and he did.

Seventh grade Texas school students spend two semesters on Texas History. Most of us do not care much as 12 years old. That would have been 1991 and 1992 for me. I took it upon myself to study Texas History again, beginning in 2008. By many Texans opinion the official history book of Texas is "Lone Star A History of Texas and the Texans". I would say it was equivalent to tackling the King James Bible.

"Charles Goodnight Cowman and Plainsman" is quite a good book.

"Empire of the Summer Moon" is quite a good book. The history of the Comanches in Texas
 
Prob in china. My brother has gone / invited to china for business on average 1x a year ..show and tell for our suppliers.

You can’t believe how fake everything is. Brand new machines supposedly running but they aren’t plugged in etc

It’s all for show, he pulled a few guys to the side over the years and suggested they should hide things better.

There was another arm of the Goodnight Loving that went through North Texas and merged with this trail in New Mexico. Lots of History and memorials about it in that area.
 
She looks eerily similar to a woman I hooked up with for a while after my divorce. Bipolar lunatic should be a poster child for ‘crazy red-head’ and stalked me for months after I cut ties. To think she’s an armed parole/probation officer took it to another level.
Yet I still can’t resist the gingers😂
 
This does beg the questions: What is the optimal shotgun load for shooting down drones?
I think research is needed. I'm talking to you, Garand Thumb.

Let's start with consumer grade quadcopter drones and move up from there.

I could see this as a new shooting event. A swarm of 25 drones is launched from the far end of a trap field, flying towards five shooters at their stations.

Let’s just say I know someone who had one over his property.. very close to the windows … his wife was getting pretty sick of the issue,,,, rumor has it that the drone was shot down with some sort of lead shot… a crash on his patio…. After posting downed drone in his front yard… no one ever claimed said drone and it was sent to landfill…. The neighbor hood is nice and quiet… Peace on Earth….. Full Choke …you never know.,….
