Went downtown and bought a clock…then browsed a book store and picked up a book on the history of the Menger Hotel. So I promptly walked out out the bookstore and strolled the half block to the Menger Bar
and had a Jack Daniels in the place where Teddy Roosevelt and Co. formed the troops that made up the Rough Riders.

Then I walked right across the street and checked out the Alamo for the millionth time…stood in more or less the spot where David Crockett defended the weakest point of the mission, and then over to the place where Jim Bowie is supposed to have been confined to his bed with fevor, and where he died. A Post Office now stands where the commander of the garrison, Col. William Barret Travis was struck in the forehead by a musket ball after he emtied his shotgun at the advancing Mexican army…I didn’t want to hang around a Government building so I didn’t go there.

A lot of history. History of freedom won with firearms and payed for in blood. I wonder how these heros view the antics of leftists like Clinton, Schumer, Feinstein and Kennedy? With amusement? Afterall, none of them dodged the draft! Or do they look on it all with dismay? After all their sacrifice, after all the blood that was spilled to win these freedoms that we enjoy-a draft dodging pot-smoking felon and his weird collection of henchmen proceed to wipe their collective butts with the Constitution!
