Now I know there’s things worse that make cowpunchers curse,
and I reckon it’s happened to us all.
Though it is years since, you bet, when I think of it yet,
it still makes my old innards crawl.
I was makin a ride to bring in an old hide.
That hadn’t shown up in the gather;
I was riding upstream day dreaming a dream,
When I caught there was something the matter.
Near some quakin asp trees, I had caught in the breeze
a stench that was raunchy anad mean.
And I reckoned as how it might be the old cow,
So I rode to a bend in the stream.
Shore nuff that cow lied in the crick there and died;
Hard tellin how long she’d been there.
She was bloated and tight, twas a horrible sight-
She was oozin and slipping her hair.
Her Eye sockets were alive with maggots that thrive
On dead flesh, putrid yellow and green.
And the hot sun burning down, turnin pink things to brown,
Spewin’ oily gunk in the stream.
Well I spurred upwind fast to get away from the blast
Of the heavy stench the cow made;
And I felt bad seeins how I’d lost the old cow,
And I pulled up to a tree in the shade.
Then I got sick to the core, rememberin minutes before
I’d done something made me feel worse;
Not thirty yards down, I’d stepped off to the ground
And drank till my belly near burst.
For months after it, Just the thought made me spit,
And I’d live it over like a bad dream.
And the Moral I think, is if you must take a drink,
Never ever remount and ride upstream. W. Mitchell
You might think my hat is funny, but I don’t.
I’m The Grand Wazoo.
Keeper of the mystic scrolls.
And rolls of parchment from the lodge.
And I’m a veteran.
Every day on coffee break at the hardware store, I tell Fred:
What do you expect because we play pranks during the… initiation.
I’m the Grand Wazoo.
I’m the Grand Wazoo.
I’m the Grand Wazoo.
I’m the Grand Wazoo, from the hardware store.
Fuck you if you don’t like my hat.

Introduction
By
General Geno Oliver
…
As you you are coming into the Big Smoky Valley from the west, on the right, about a half mile from the turn onto SR 376, this would be the southwest section, This was called Frontier. It consisted of a restaurant, Motel, a couple small homes and a gas station. The truck stop provided radiator water fr the trip over the two summits to the west, Bob Scott and Austin. This used to be the junction till the state moved the road further to the east where it is now. It flourished from the 1930’s till the mid 1980’s
From where the junction is now, about four miles to the east, there is a big rock on the left, (north) with the Lincoln Highway logo painted on it. Just past it about three hundred feet is a wire gate. Through the gate and up about a half mile is the faint foundation of the Cape Horn Overland Stage Co. station. About ten miles on to the northwest, the Pony Express came out of Simpson Park Canyon and cut across to Eureka. The Canyon was named for Capt. James Simpson who surveyed the Central Overland Route through Nevada from Camp Floyd Utah to Genoa for the purpose of a wagon road and a rail route. The XP followed this route most of the way across the Territory.
Back on the Black top under Highway 50, before there was a Highway 50, there were three transcontinental roads that crossed the north end of Big Smoky Valley. The Lincoln Highway, 1913 and on through today, the very little known Goodrich Transcontinental Route No. 1, (The highway name didn’t last long) and the PPOO, Pikes Peak Ocean to Ocean Highway. All three of these highways were piggybacked on each other across this area in 1915.
The Big Smoky Valley
By Neon Johnson
Near the geographical center of Nevada, the Big Smoky Valley extends 100 miles north from Tonopah to Hwy 50 and is between nine and fifty miles wide. The 5500’ asl Valley is bound on the west by the Toiyabe Range. Arc Dome (11,775’) and Bunker Hill above Kingston Canyon (11,477’) are the highest Peaks. On the East the Toquima Range is made of the Northumberland Mountains, the Shoshone Hills and the Smoky Mountains. Mt. Jefferson is the highest point at 11,807’ In the early 20th Century the Big Smoky Valley was considered and many surveys completed for railroads connecting Battle Mountain and Ely with Tonopah and Goldfield.
An international scientific study has been conducted which confirms what any Widder will tell you: The Womenfolk Like Men in Red! Read the whole article here.
A juicy excerpt:
Women in the United States, England, Germany and China said they found men pictured wearing red, or framed in red, more sexually attractive than in other colors, the research published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology showed.
What say the brethren?
