DAY OF RECKONING FOR TEXAS HORSE SLAUGHTER BILL:
In the past few weeks, proposed legislation to repeal the ban on horse slaughter in Texas (initially known as HB 1324) has undergone various permutations. After the Senate decided not to pass HB 1324, it appeared that animal advocates were successful in blocking the bill and keeping the law that bans horse slaughter in place. However, the bill's sponsor, Rep. Betty Brown, managed to attach the language of HB 1324 to a separate piece of legislation, SB 1413. This language -- attached to SB 1413 as "Amendment 2"--would repeal the portion of Texas law that currently prohibits the sale or possession of horsemeat for humane consumption. If SB 1413 passes with Amendment 2 intact, it will spell doom for American horses, by allowing the nation's only two horse slaughterhouses, both in Texas, to continue operating. As the Texas 2003 legislative session draws to a close, members of the Senate will be meeting to determine the final version of SB 1413?-and the fate of American horses for decades to come.

Victory is within our reach, if only we can convince members of the Texas Senate to strip Amendment 2 from the final version of SB 1413. At this moment, powerful members of the Texas Farm Bureau, as well as the Texas and Southwest Cattle Raisers Association (which receives $3 for every horse slaughtered in Texas) are flooding these key members with phone calls in support of Amendment 2. It's up to us to counter this attack.

1. Please contact all Texas state Senators asap (the bill could
be debated at any time now) with the simple request to remove Amendment 2 from the final version of SB 1413. Go to: http://www.cap4pets.org/horseslaughter.html for a complete list of Senators and their contact info.
2. Contact Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst and ask him to reject Amendment 2 on SB 1413.

A mixed marriage to say the least, gees.

In 1980, i took a vacation on the Carolina coast with my dog. I rode down with my brother, who lives in Wilmington. I hitchhiked back to Illinois (i worked at the U of I then). I was picked up by a guy who i later decided thought that i made good cover, what with the dog and all--i'm certain he was smuggling drugs from Miami. We got to New York, and, as he was going for a haircut, he suggested that i do the same. (I hitchhiked a lot when young, and knew quite well that keeping clean and well-groomed would get me more rides, and get rides sooner--i even had a beach towel for the dog to lie on beside the highway.) He paid, which was good, because it was expensive as hell by 1980 standards, without considering the tips he gave to everyone in sight (the entire time we were in New York, people kept assuming we were mafiosi, probably because i'm big and could pass for Italian, and he was dropping tips like a wannabe drops names). They brought out a dog basket of the appropriate size for Morgan, and brought her a bowl of ice water. I was given my choice of a rum cooler or white wine (endless refills)--and Enrique ("Oh God, i just love cutting naturally curly hair, and so few Anglos have it. ). What made me think of it was, the place was called Salon Salon. Ok, as you were . . .

excellent association there, Setanta..........New York, 1980, Salon Salon.........hair cuts, the West Village.............Top of the Gate.......Hair, naked, singing people, up close and personal............oh, no that was in 1972, sorry.

Anybody want to take it up here?

Some of y'all y'all may want to drop in over at the Western Gathering thread again - lol! Just added some pretty lil avatars of some there....

Thanks Cobalt. Very nice avatars.........but I think I'll keep mine. It makes folks believe I have nice long legs. ;-)

And you do - I know :wink:

It's true, BillW, I did pose for your camera. I never posted that photo...........I worried some would get the right idea. So I played it conservative. ;-)

You are so naive my dear -

I have always suffered from naivete.............<batting eyes>

Good morning to all you early risers.............Lola has decided to get up early, but may return to her bed for a while...............but first, coffee and grapefruit juice

Good morning Lola ~

I'll sit and have a cup of mocha with you. A busy day of working out of doors on my agenda today. Are you planning on working today also? How's the move going?

Well, there's yard raking, lawns and painting awaiting <cannot wait till someone invents robotic hedge trimmers>.

Thanks for the delicious breakfast, Lola. Have a great day~

Good morning, all! What a gorgeous morning this is! Clear blue sky, not too hot just yet. A perfect day for gardening...

Now that we've done the formal urn planters on your front stoop, Lola, would you like for me to do the window boxes as well? I have some ideas for those.

What is your favorite color scheme in the garden, dear?

Yes, Withers, I'll have some of that grapefruit juice as well...and perhaps just one of those lovely croissants...and yes, of course, some raspberry jam...and.....

good morning one and all. the hills are alive with the sound of gossip.

Could I have a large orange juice, an idustrial size coffee and a pack of non filter Luckies for breakfast please. Thank you.
