[AGL] Can you name this car?

[Igor Loving]

The car is named Larry'

Leakey, Texas Nov. 2005


My pal the deputy sherrif (ex-caver Oakley) dropped in to pay a visit. Said 
I needed a 22 and a hand gun of larger caliber to deal with the hogs and 
sheep.

There are  too many deer and not enough predators. There are way too many 
ferral hogs. The cedar trees drink all the water. The Aoudad sheep 
introduced in the Texas, Panhandle are eating up the ground cover. There are 
fifty of them on the ranch next door and the rancher begs people to just 
come shoot them. Problem is then what?
Yesterday we took three of them to a huge pit and poured gasoline on them 
and set them afire. That is so the pigs  won't root them up. It was Valeros 
gasoline.

The oak trees are being eaten before they can grow. Hege hogs are griddling 
the pine trees. We are cutting down and burning cedar as fast a we can. It 
is most amazing on the ranch two miles away they are seeing long dead 
sprongs coming back. Woody says that in 1959 ther was a spring on my place 
behind where I built my casa. So we are chopping out all the cedar.

The place look all so beautiful but under the guise of beauty it is being 
raped by mother Nature herself. Out here you actually notice the moon every 
night and can see the stars. The lack of cars and people makes it such a 
great place to be. No noise here except the noise of the earth and that 
which you make. You can hear a car coming for miles.

The red necks are fighting back best they can with their 30-30's and front 
end loaders and ATVs. Now I want one.Then they have lapses in sense when 
they see a predator and they shoot it. Except the ranche rnext door that 
feeds them horse meat.

The good thing here  is that when you call people for service like the gas 
company or the phone company out here. It is like it was in the sixties. A 
Nice lady person answers the line at propane gas company and gossips after 
asking you how the little lady is doing?  ten minutes about the weather and 
the next Sheep fest in Rocksprings. The DSL phone guy talks to his boss in 
Spanish. The phone operator says...                                          
                                                              "Good morning 
Mr.Loving, so sorry your service was interupted, that big wind blew in last 
night and tore things up along 337..."  Say what?

South, Texas and three hours from anywhere.
