Here is a familiar view to refresh your memories.

Hmm, perhaps you spent a wee bit too much time with the vaqueros amigo, seems like you have a little mean streak. However I do not take it as any kind of offence, in fact I now extend the hand of friendship to you and our fellow amigo Joe (Cactusjumper) you probably could both use a nice break from all that terrible blazing sunshine and heat, a few weeks of playing cowboy is just what you need - and I can truly and honestly say, WISH YOU WERE HERE...

<Horseback riding is one of the great benefits of working as a cowboy/sheepherder, and besides the luxury of "four-wheel-drive" it comes equipped with real leather upholstery, bio-genic heating system and is 100% "green" in that it runs entirely on renewable fuels>

<Lovely "rustic" accomodations are available for all our guest cow-pokes in the line cabins, with all the amenities of course including solar heating and flow-through ventilation>

<sweeping vistas are just a part of your every work-a-day>

<In your free time we will have time for some friendly card-playing>

<You will enjoy the wonderful clean FRESH AIR>

<We can guarantee you are 100% safe from any hurricanes too!>

<Sadly, all good things must come to an end, but for the rest of your days, everyone will know that you are a REAL cowboy!>

hey gang,
Scuba wrote "Old Bookaroo that was a great read. Too bad the mine was fake. I can't wait for part VI." I don't know where this has come from because, I have read a article that has it was found... This is Gold magazine Issue 1 Vol 1 Annual 1969, with the story directly told from Scholfield...
