9 Wild Horse Roundup We had church Sunday and there were eight of us, count ing the pas tor and his daugh ter, who was a friendly girl.

She s the one who could n t get ac cepted into the re gional art shows with her own work un til she loaded a twelve gauge shot gun with paint pel lets and blasted a sheet of ply - wood. She says she in - vented the bal lis tic school of art. So in she came the other day, saun ter ing up to the phi los o phy coun ter at the Mule Barn truck stop and or der ing cof fee. She brought her own mouth - wash-fla vored cream stuff for it. We who reg u - larly meet for sum mit con fer ences here at the world di lemma think tank are al ways grate ful for these vis its from Janice, be cause we like to see whether our ideas run in dou ble har ness with avant garde think ing. Avant garde, of course, is French for putting on airs. Boys, she said, it is an over whelm ing plea - sure to see you gath ered here again within these hal lowed halls to wel - come the on set of spring. We have n t seen this much philo soph i cal tal ent gath ered here since yes ter day? That d be about right, Janice, said Doc. Doc is By Slim Randles our un of fi cial leader be - cause he has lots of ini - tials af ter his name and he can cut peo ple open and fix them. Yep, she said. To day I rake my leaves. Lit tle late on that, aren t you? Dud asked. Nope, she said. Just right. She took a sip and turned to us, fo cus ing her avant gardity on us like a laser. Most of us rake leaves in the fall, right? A gen eral nod ding. And then we go out and buy mulch to put around the ten der shoots com ing up from be low to pro tect them from snow, right? And then in the spring we rake away some of the mulch to al low sun shine in, right? More nod ding. Well, I let the fall leaves do the mulch ing and only rake once a year. The way ev ery one else does it is like that silly woman I met who paid $30 to get her poo dle clipped and then bought him a $40 sweater to keep him she said they don t fight like those here. I can t stand watch ing the way they do here. Base ball is my game, and the Rock ies are do ing re ally well. I played un til I was 42. It s nice to see Ernie Ham - mer walk ing so well on his bad foot. Saturday, the turkey-hunt - ing sea son opened. Marty and I were com ing back from her ranch and saw two pick ups parked just off the road. We stopped to visit, and one was the Wild life of - warm.
