Ronnie,
I wish I could accept the praise, but I don't think the sheep picture was
one of mine. It couldn't have been; I don't have any sheep...or any high
pastures either; my house is on the top of the only hill within 20 miles. As
a matter of fact there aren't any sheep anywhere in Pontotoc County that I
know of. They tried to bring sheep in here back before statehood, but the
cattlemen shot all the sheep and tarred and feathered the sheepmen ...
there's an old yellowed picture of the poor guys getting frog-marched out of
town on the wall of the newspaper office in Ada. Sheep eat the grass down
too short and the cows all starve. You remember your John Wayne movies well
enough to know how cattle people feel about sheep! Bring sheep into this
county and you'd risk getting lynched.
