So it was rodeo time in Texas and that meant a parade of cars and floats and things going by, and as they passed they chucked out sweeties, necklaces (it's nearly Mardi Gras time in Galveston), souvenirs etc. etc.-there are also bods running alongside handing these out. It's also election time. So one lad next to our little stand was delighted to be given a gift as the runner was past- is it a toy,is it a gift,no it is a card encouraging him to 'Vote for John Willibald Q. Doe for District Fish Commissioner'or some equally stirring post. I can still see the miffed look on his face of 'what the hell's this you've given me?'
