That's what I'm talkin' about!!!!!! Ol' rancher I know said as a young man he worked on a ranch at Gause Tx. south of Hearne Tx. Said he ruined a levi dungaree jacket first day out in that stuff on horseback. The stuff is bad.

Speaking of Gause. It lies close to one of the islands of grass in the Monte. West of Bryan/ College Station. A local geographical landmark there is a hill known as Sugarloaf. Many think this may be the location of one of the Native villages of "Tortuga" on the Camino Real.....

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
