For those who missed last evening's activity, the message in Post #1351 on Thread 3 deserves repeating:
Yeehaw!!
Texas chimes in with another $1,000 and this note:
The Long Tall Texan is "lurking" from the shadows, as always.

I also wanna say a Great Big THANK YOU to all the people from ALL the States of the Great U.S. of A. for everything you do for FR. ALL Your donations. All your posts to this great Forum. Everything!
And even moreso to those "across the pond" who donate from the heart to FR.
God Bless Each and Every FReeper!
(BTW! One last remark. The "Long Tall Texan" ain't no celebrity. He ain't "W" and he Ain't Ted Nugent or any other "famous personage"... He is an old rancher... an old "country boy"...nothing more, nothing less... sorry to "dash your dreams"... but that's they way it is...)
Thank you TEXAS!!
