Mornin' Cuzzies, Well, justa sittin' around drumming our fingers on the table waiting on whatever rain we're supposed to have from Hurricane Alex. We're not worried about any bad weather or bad winds.....we just spook a little over the word hurricane here in Houston, and will be glad when Alex is completely outta here. It's headed directly for Ole Buckley's childhood growing up spot which is Tampico, Mexico, home to lots of Americans in its day. Tampico had a big oiyle play in the 30's, 40's.....the Buckleys had a ranch there, and discovered oil all over the place. Well, as thingees go in Mexico, the gubmit manages to glom onto to whatever is profitable, and so they helped themselves to all the oil, leaving all the Buckleys to return to the US. Sound familiar? Not only that, my first husband had an uncle who owned a million acres right across the Rio Grande River in Mexico, and it was a very successful cattle ranch.....gorgeous country! Well, it was just doing toooo well, and the Mexican gubmit helped itself to that spread, too. Oh, they don't pay the owners for what they take. Though neither affected me economically, can you say....I had a little karma w/ Mexico property? Off to an appointment.....y'all have a good one! ( : Buckette
