Everything nowadays…at least for the consumer is going the other direction.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683064637626718318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152821032321828999.post-65368997811771485892014-01-17T10:49:12.531-08:002014-01-17T10:49:12.531-08:00Thanks Caroline and Margaret for taking time to vi...Thanks Caroline and Margaret for taking time to visit and comment. I often feel bad because my posts don't garner the comments of my peers, but I like to think it's not because I don't produce interesting fodder. :)<br />Margaret, I agree. None of those cowboys look like any of my heroes. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683064637626718318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152821032321828999.post-85257621274909645512014-01-15T21:00:22.475-08:002014-01-15T21:00:22.475-08:00Hi Ginger,

He was the foreman of a large Texas ranch, but was kicked in the head by a horse and developed Parkinson's from the injury--or that's when the disease showed itself. One of the "line shacks" from the ranch he worked on has been moved to the Ranching Heritage Museum at Texas Tech in Lubbock. He told of rattlesnakes coming up to get on the hearth and the cowboys shooting the snakes. Too wild for me! I'm going to check out the book. In addition to falling prices, barbed wire played a big role in changing ranching and the cowboy's life. Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.com
