“It’s strange how being happy about one thing can make you just as sad about another” – The Passage by Justin Cronin

Morning Cliff. How’s everything in Laredo?

Good. Not much traffic. Trying to catch up on sleep.

We had a little Border Patrol action here this morning.

Wow. I had some of that in January.

Yeah man, ground forces and helicopter support. One of the cop cars was chasing a stolen car and gutted his oil pan on the dirt road. Anyway, the helicopter circled about ½ mile away from us for about an hour.

Did they catch them?

Don’t know.

We have a problem with illegal cows down here.

What?

Illegal cows. They stampede the gate.

Well, what do you do?

I let them pass.

Why?

They have their own A-1 sauce.

Gotta go Cliff.
