A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day
Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997. Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.
A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.
On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY
If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.
We're having fun and hope you are!

Cowboy Blues
I yearn for the life that I used to know When the range was free and wide, When a man could see where the sunsets go 'Way out past the Great Divide.
Oh I want to mount my old cayuse And gallop off with a song, To twirl my rope and to throw the noose And chase the dogies along.
I long for the roads of yesterday, For the trails I used to ride, For the cowboy's life, his yip-oo-ray As he roamed the countryside.
What's a man to do who rode all day Through shortgrass and mesquite, With tractors and plows and a paved-highway And fenced-in fields of wheat?
My sad heart pines for the prairies still, I long to follow the trail, I miss the call of the whippoorwill And the coyote's lonesome wail.
I want to feel the wind in my face And to give my horse the word, To wheel and turn as he sets the pace And cuts through a longhorn herd.
By Laressa Cox McBurney Published in Always The Prairie in 1949

Stuffed Diamondback
1 - 3 ft. or longer Diamondback 1 cup dried cornbread cubes 1 tbsp oil 1/2 cup beef stock 1/2 stalk of celery, chopped 1/2 onion,chopped 1 tbsp Jack Daniels whiskey 1 cup molasses 1 cherry tomato
Slice down belly of snake from bottom of jaw to tail with a shallow cut. Gut the snake and throw away internals. Run gutted snake under warm tap water and remove extra blood.
In a mixing bowl, mix cornbread cubes, oil, beef stock, celery and onion. Allow to stand for 10-15 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
Roll stuffing into a tube (snake) shape and insert along the inside of snake. Close up skin and sew together with cooking twine in a zig-zag pattern.
In a small mixing bowl, mix Jack Daniels and molasses. Set aside.
Place snake in a casserole dish. Make sure snake does not overlap as uneven cooking will occur.
With a cooking brush, brush snake with Jack Daniels glaze. Pour extra glaze around the snake in the casserole dish.
Place casserole dish into 275 degree oven for an hour and a half or until tender.
Remove casserole dish from oven and prop open snake's mouth. Place cherry tomato in mouth for appearance.
Serve and Enjoy!

I have always loved the
Silverton/Durango train and the two cities. Makes me feel a little like I was there THEN. Never been to boot hill or much of the toursity things surrounding the old west.. but heck, it is funny, Missouri, Oklahoma, etc were considered the west.. NOT CALIFORNIA ETC,
