He owned a Texaco Station in my old neighborhood.

That's his dad. Still runs the same station in Fargo.

You ought to check out James' blog, The Bleat. You will learn a lot about his life and family.

James is a great writer with a wonderful sense of humor and a solid conservative.

He also co-hosts a podcast on Ricochet.
