Phil, I kn...Chas, yeah, it's, uh, something...<br /><br />Phil, I know, I know, but in this case the differences, in terms of the condition of the land, between Pickens' ranch and the surrounding area are so stark, that even the most hard-core populist-leaning greenie might be glad of what Pickens has done there. And no matter how you may feel about Pickens, no one can argue that he's given (and helped raise) a tremendous amount of money for quail research at a time when most wildlife research dollars are going elsewhere.<br /><br />Pickens has stated that the ranch will be sold upon his death, he's not leaving it to anyone. So what I think would be really cool would be for the state to somehow manage to buy the place for the people of Texas. It'll never happen, of course, because that's just not the way things are done down there. But it's a nice thought.Chad Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13219295562957353591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972254401664966699.post-62806372858301703972013-03-15T09:48:37.557-05:002013-03-15T09:48:37.557-05:00Was a high wall there that tried to stop me
A ... Was a high wall there that tried to stop me<br /> A sign was painted said: Private Property,<br /> But on the back side it didn't say nothing — <br /> This land was made for you and me.<br /><br />I think it's special that folks like T. Boone and Ted Turner can have their own little place in the country.
