Seeing Warren posting here this morning reminded me of a meeting I hope to have with the Mayor of Lajitas.They remind me of each other.
Lajitas is just down the road a couple of miles from Terlingua,toward the Rio Grande.
In the early 1900's General "Black Jack" Pershing set up a U.S. Calvery post here to deal with Poncho Villa.
Anyway , the Current Mayor is Henry Clay III.Both his grandfather and father were Mayors of Lajitas as well.
Sadly both are rumored to have died of liver failure.
It is said that the current Mayor Clay doesn't say a whole lot worth listening to but is able to drink more beer than you are willing to pay for.
Mayor Clay had a slight mishap at the hands of a political rival a couple of years ago.
Apparently this guy has been running for Mayor of Lajitas for quite a number of years and losing.With the third generation of Clay's now holding The Office,he went over the deep end and decided to make sure there wasn't a fourth generation beating him at the Ballot Box.
He castrated poor Mayor Clay !!!
The main similarity is that Henry Clay III is an
OLD GOAT.
