I had a note from Blair Pittman last week asking me to post this to
CaveTex. Here it is:

I get my new book next Friday--
TALES FROM THE TERLINGUA PORCH, Volume I
Distribution will begin in September. It is a $10 book. I'm tired of
these expensive projects that take 50 years to do. How many 50 years do I
have left??? Did this one in 5 years--18 stories with illustrations, and NO
PHOTOGRAPHY.
By the middle of September TALES will be available on the inner-net at:
www.txstarbooks.com
There are some new stories I have lived through, but I have
the old, trusty standards like UNCLE JOE & THE GOVERNOR...
Remember Uncle Joe??? 340 pounds, 6' 6", long white beard, former
professional wrestler, sat in his recliner swatting flies & drinking
whiskey... Mark White & crew of 4 cars stopped in one hot day for
refreshment... Uncle Joe didn't budge from his recliner, just told them the
beer & sodas were in the cooler... Just help yourselves, then mark it down
on the blackboard... I'll get up once to add it up & collect your money...
They helped themselves, dutifully marking on the blackboard what they got...
Happy folks gathered on his porch, laughing & enjoying the break... Mark
White approached Uncle Joe... Sir? I'm told you are Uncle Joe... I am Mark
White, Governor of Texas... Uncle Joe took a nip out of his bottle, swatted
a fly - Then looked at the Governor of the great state of Texas, saying...
Sonny, I don't know who you are... But once you crossed that cattle guard
at Bee Mountain on Highway 118, you can be anyone you want to be...
I really like that story... To me it says you can re-invent yourself... Move
to Big Bend, you can be anything you say you are...I did...
