  1. College Station caught my eye. I demonstrated horseshoe making for the then farrier instructor quite a few years ago in College Station. The first thing, his wife asked me if I knew how to make coffee. I said that I did. She apologized and said they didn't know how but had bought a coffee maker in case I knew how. I thanked her and asked her what they drank instead. "Well, we drink iced tea all day long, she replied. I now know that iced tea is pretty much standard fare in Texas.

      Thanks for sharing that, put a smile on my face! Funny thing is that I can't stand sweet tea! My brother once had a big cup full of it, but he told me it was coke, and that I could have some. So, I took a big gulp of it, and just about threw it up!

       This is probably a long shot, but I'll try anyway. By any chance do you know Jay Nesmier (not sure if I spelled his last name right)? he's a farrier here in town, one I'm good friends with, real nice guy.

  2. Ref "getting older," I liked your response. In 1957, a best selling book was "Where did you go? Out. What'd you do? Nothing." This was our typical response to our parents' queries after a day of play.

  3. You contacted me?

  4. I responded on "quitting my job" in the forum, kind of directed toward you and having to do with Mircea Eliade.
