Hmmmm.next time I take a bike trip to Big Bend, perhaps I'll drop by and challenge this moron to a gunfight debate. Nothin' scarier than a native Texan graduate from a liberal university, who is an ex-cop, carries guns and rides a bike. BWA HA! [no they couldn't convert me]

LOL! I've been to Alpine, too, on a trip to the Big Bend that turned into a hunt across West Texas for a Toyota alternator. "Don't y'all have A 'merican car?" (For the record, ONE Japanese alternator between El Paso and San Antonio.) Long story ...

Anyway, Alpine is a nice litte town. The people there were friendly and really wanted to help, and put us on the trail of the people who really had the mythic Japanese Alternator. And Sul Ross State, or whatever it's calling itself these days, is a well-landscaped school with pretty good petroleum engineering and geology programs, giving at least a start at higher education to folks on the back side of the Southwest.

It's interesting that the article tries to trash Midland and the President totally out of context, too.
