Crime-Stoppers Note:
If you are ever being stalked by Hillary Clinton in a dark alley, try to find and duck down into an open "manhole" (or one whose cover you can open) and there's no way she can follow you.
She knows she would get stuck like a giant turnip in that hole and it would take at least two cases of walrus grease and the efforts of the Budweiser Clydesdale Horse Team to pull her out.
Hey. it could have been worse....requiring these guys:
Am I the only one here who remembers Ronald Reagan hosting the "Death Valley Days" TV series? As I recall, he took over the job after the retirement of "The Old Ranger".
Thank you for the Proustian flashback.
About 8 weeks ago I went to Las Vegas to celebrate my sons 21st.
We were there for 4 days and during 3 days we got out of the city and took a look around. Hoover Dam, area 51 and Death Valley.
We drove Death Valleys floor for about 150 miles and came upon the old Borax mining operation and some of the original wagons and equipment from these mule teams.
Way cool.
Place looks like the moon.
Nope my Great Great Grandfather drove one of those mule teams. He also traveled all over California buying mules for the teams. I have never figured if he ever worked for Borax. I and my sister have hand written letters (they are all in pencile) from his wife to him and addresed to many different towns (gen. delivery). The letters always had a reference to the current price of hay and who was selling it!
