Is Kamin Furniture Store still there ?Last I heard... my mother's favorite place. I think she single-handedly kept them in business for years. I used to love going in there as a kid. Something about hiding in all of the furniture, I guess. I think she still gets her stuff there.

Thank you. I know every Texan, especially those who live out-of-state and occasionally get homesick, would want to read this.
To: Nita Nupress
Agreed... I still remember this game like it was yesterday...
I'm sure that Robin does, too...

Bum's given name is Oail Andrew Phillips. He says it would be pronounced "O.L." He became "Bum" because his three-year-old sister Edrina had trouble saying "Brother".
I don't know if the letter is original or not but, back in 2000, we tried to entice Bum to participate in an internet website about the new Houston Texans. What we heard back was that Bum wasn't computer literate and wasn't the least bit interested in the internet.
I realize that some folks from that generation eventually come to accept the internet, or at least e-mails, as something convenient and something they need not fear so this may have changed in time. But it's also possible that a retired rancher doesn't really need a computer for anything and still writes with pen and paper.
I love Bum. He's as authentic a Texan as you can get. I wish him well.

I got the spelling from an article about his granddaughter (Wades daughter) Tracy. Oail/Owell, I'd still rather be known as Bum myself.
By the way, with all due respect to Bum, his granddaughter is HOT. Check the link:

The U.S. flag was the only one I saw in Desert Storm more often than the Texas flag. Thank you for serving, young man. We owe you much. Your post put a smile on my face.

Yes, it does take a L O N G time to get out and when you live in Houston area it takes forever to get to El Paso or Amarillo. I've done those trips many times. :-)
