A trip to wildflower country

Bluebonnet

Winecup

We just returned from an RV trip into central Texas, where the April wildflowers are beautiful, and the politics—well, they are what they are. The hateful political sign is in an empty storefront in downtown McGregor, not far from W's old stomping ground of Crawford. Note the "FBO" at the top. Any guesses as to what that stands for?

A television ad for a place called Guns Are Us billed its store as "Three thousand square feet of Second Amendment heaven."

In one town where we stayed, we saw a house with the following large sign prominently displayed in its fenced-in front yard: Danger: Sex Offender/Child Molester Lives Here. In the driveway were a couple of cars and a gray-haired old woman who was swatting a goat with her hand.
