I live in a "pump patch" myself down in south Texas. Did either of Y'all ever get down around the Freer or Bruni area or anywhere around Laredo?

Have either of you ever driven down U.S. 59 between Freer and Laredo at night right after the first good cool snap hits and listened to the tarantula's pop under your tires?

Yep! I've driven 59 Freer to Laredo many times in my life.

When I wuz a young'un (and I'm talkin' well over 50 years ago now) there was horned toads all over everywhere......
I ain't seen one of them little critters in years.......
They just ain't around anymore like they used to be.......

We used to take highway 16 out of Freer up to Tilden and eat at the old Cowboy Cafe
It's gone now too..
They had autographed pictures of Tex Ritter hanging on all the walls of that place and great food too.....
