But, the whole town is based on cattle trails. One location called "Five Points" is where a drunk cowboy once fell off his horse. Spaniards founded the San Antonio Missions - apparently the very first rodeo may have been when Jose left the gate to the stable open by mistake, causing the very first round up (rodeo). Go figure.

That's a whole lotta shit stompers in one place. I prefer shopping in smaller, boutique-y stores though. I always have people coming into my strictly English tack store asking where to buy cowboy boots because Victoria doesn't have anywhere that sells them. Next time I'll send them to Texas.

Over, here a car is just another tool for most people. Without one, I'd be dead in the water. Some people who are rich probably drive cars just for fun and pleasure, like my neighbor, who doesn't drive these cars much - there just for shows. I inherited the Eldorado from Mom. She bought it new off the show room floor and it's been garaged it's whole life. She still had a driver's license at age 86, but hadn't driven in about ten years. So, one day I just took it - I'm using it for highway driving. I put some new tires on it and a new disc brakes. You can't get anything these days for a car like that - maybe $1500. The AC still works and it has cruise control. Also, it has a kick-ass Delco Bose sound system with CD player inside. Sweet!
