MONTHLY CHRONICLE OF THE RIVER CITY REGULATORS

VOLUME XIV, NO.06 = &nb= sp; JUNE 2008

HO= WDY COWGIRLS & COWBOYS,

Don’t you just love our weather? 80,s one day and 50’s the next. It’s mother natures way of playing games with us so we don’t get bored. It’s a challenge: = do I leave the windows open cuz it’s hot and w= ake up freezing with a sore throat or close them and cook. Do I wear Shorts or do I break out my coat? Hummmm.

Boy, have any of you gotten = to see a mastiff up close and personal? I did for the first time at my store s= at. The gentleman informed me that he still wasn’t full grown at age two.= Wow his head was bigger than “the 45 Kids”! He had to be, I’m guessing, at least 120lbs. huge feet. The man said he was friendly so I gue= ss that growl that I heard when I approached the ve= hicle must have been coming from his stomach. He did let me pet his massive head though, For a second. Then a huge rottweiler (pretty close in size to the mastiff) decided he wanted to visit also. My w= rist (that got banged against the side of the window) should heal soon! As I was telling Mr. Aimless Austin about the “horses” I was informed by= him that I had always told him <= u>not to go up to a strangers car! Well then…= ;..

Any way

th= ere w= ere 14 shooters at the may shoot.
