Dear Lubbock cuz...I knew that would be true, with all of AR slaveholding, and Roger Brooke Taney working madly at trying to upset the settled law of the Missouri/Maine Compromise...as sure as I know that old cemeteries get so overgrown with weeds that you can't find the stones, if any, and time was people didn't have street addresses, and rode into town, or the PO, maybe every other week to pick up mail....and some men had white wives back somewhere, as well as dark ones in Hawaii or the Six Towns of the Choctaw Nation... Sure wish I had listened to my mama more, when she was still with us...but then, I shoulda paid more attention to her on a lot of other things, too. So how are things in Lubbock these days? Used to have a pretty good string of Amarillo jokes, all from my father, but I don't have any Lubbock stories.....
