Interesting you ask.
Drove thru Crawford twice last week.
It was a poor dung-hole town before W moved in. Then it got spiffed up to look like Salado. It’s devolved back to the dunghole. All those kitzy shops vacant and falling down. The signs “Home of W” mostly gone and the ones still there are not maintained. Falling apart.
Said all that because it pretty much reflects local sentiment. Local opinion of W began it’s nosedive in T2. By WY6 there was much dissatisfaction: amnesty, NAFTA, general foreign policy related.
Among the lightly informed conservatives his cozying up to Moochelle and Hitlery, buddying up to BJ and Zero are despicable. And the better informed think worse. But that’s just the country rednecks from McClennan, Bosque, Coryell and Hill Counties. My stompin’ grounds.
If he ever even goes to the ranch anymore I don’t hear it. I think he stays in Dallas. We had some warm weather heavy rains earlier this year and I was wishing I still had my fit body and kayak to try kayaking down the Middle Bosque past the ranch. Don’t think my body is up to it, gave daughter my kayak. But on a good day I’d like to try just to see if that stretch of water is still closed off. Before he became POTUS we could do that.

When I was in Midland, I picked up a book before it went out of print, “Fly Fishing The Hill Country”.
Bosque was bookmark but never acheived.
