it's code....for cows


I'm certain this is a brand mark for the ranch...but I'm puzzled about what it could mean....
Some ranch brands are obvious...like the rocking R, the Bar S or Lazy B...and so on. You see these often in Texas or New Mexico and Colorado and other ranch lands. My family had one in Texas and it was a stylized lettering of my Dad's intitial....CDS.

Target...but not Target



desert oddities....this is near Marathon, Tx.
Unlike Prada Marfa, which is just outside of Valentine Texas and has display merchandise, (not for sale and never open and security cameras) this Target only has graffiti and a few lizards inside and is open 24 hours with tumbleweeds as guards.

Dangerous Dog



I got bit by a dog the last day of 2019. Not the dog advertised here, but a dog at the beach in Texas during a recent road trip.
Dogs as a rule really like me....a lot. I have met dogs that friends have told me don't like anyone crawl up in my lap and act like big babies. There's a coyote that hangs around my house that would really like to be my dog...so being bit was quite a startling experience! Mainly because it can happen so fast. Also because I love dogs and they know it. No doctor visit, no panic, no asking to see a rabies certs...I kept walking and wiped my fingers off with a Lysol wipe I had in the car. Probably not the wisest thing, not knowing the dog or its owner...but it was New Years Eve and I just wanted to walk on the beach, so I did.
