The great thing about Camp CLC is the kids who come to our institute. This year, for the first time, most of our kids are not from the D/FW-Austin-San Antonio-Houston population centers. Instead, they're from West Texas and small towns and Nacodoches.
And we have one student who's come to us from George West, Texas, where not only did a guy named George West name a town after himself, pay the railroad $100,000 to go through his town, and pay for a new courthouse at a cost of $75,000 if the county would move the county seat to his namesake hamlet, but where his prize longhorn is also preserved in an air-conditioned, glass-fronted chamber outside the county courthouse.
The longhorn's name is Geronimo.
I must see this. Soon.
And you should take a look at the National Texas Longhorn Museum.
Clearly V.I. Lenin has nothing on George West, Texas.
And this is way cooler than that spectacle in Lexington, Virginia.
Who's up for a roadtrip?
