Greetings marv, also from the Missouri Ozarks. :-)
I think us Missouri folk are catching up with all of you Texas folk on here. :tongue:
How did you find Conservative Cave?
What about those of us who were born in Missouri, realized it was the wrong state and adopted Texas?
:whistling:
Welcome marv.

Good riddance? :tongue:
I can't say much, since I've never been to Texas. I plan to rectify that in the coming year, on my way out to visit some folks in AZ.
Well, if you stay way up there in the pan handle don't make up your mind based on what you see.

I don't have the return trip all planned out yet, but I'd like to take a different way back, and running I-10 into LA has been brought up, time allowing.
I forgot to explain that I'm a conservative, pro-life, Republican, atheist! I hope that doesn't offend anybody.
Welcome Marv. I'm Chitownchica. My sister worked at Kanakuk back in the 90s (actually I think the girls' camp is Kanakomo). I think that's pretty close to you. I live in Chicago, but both sides of my family are from Arkansas (mainly Russellville, Havana, and Mena). Those aren't exactly in your neighborhood, but not too far. It's really beautiful where you are.Back in the sixties, I worked down in the Loop in the old Insurance Exchange building. Lived in Elk Grove Village and commuted on the Milwaukee.
I spent a good amount of time in Texas at Lackland AFB in the 50s and 60s. Only back to Houston and Ft. Worth on some business trips since. Nice countr...er...state, except it's a little too warm for this guy born in northern Iowa - Sioux City. So I love the snow.
But I did grow up in the crime capitol of the forties, Kansas City. Don't get me started on the Mafia, Democrat political machines, organized crime, or the rest of that crap. GOOGLE up Charles Binaggio or Charles Gargotta, or Tom Pendergast.
Hey, BattleHymn, where 'bouts in the Ozarks are ya from? I'm down here in unincorporated Shell Knob, south of Springfield, west of Branson, and east of Cassville, the closest town with sidewalks! (http://www.conservativecave.com/Smileys/default/whatever.gif)
I just rode my motorcycle through Shell Knob last week. My folks and one of my brothers live in Crane, another brother is in Nixa, another in Republic and finally one in New Madry.Went to town yesterday to grocery shop. There were several dozen bikers in the grocery store parking lot. Tex, do you know if they might have been part of the veteran's celebration of Armed Forces Day?
