I feel it is very misleading that Center, TX, is not, in fact, in the center of Texas.

Decided over the weekend that, after 24 years in Texas, it was past time for some cowboy boots. Major props to all the folks at the FOUR different Justin Boots buildings for all their kind help.

“Bridge demolished with explosives in Marble Falls, Texas.”

There is one big truth that used to hold from sea to shining sea and is now most keenly apprehended here: an argument against the individual right to bear arms is an argument that the average American is incompetent to contend with the most fundamental moral questions of life, death, and justice. It is an argument that assumes ordinary people cannot be entrusted with democracy.
