Texas Blood: Seven Generations Among the Outlaws, Ranchers, Indians, Missionaries, Soldiers, and Smugglers of the BorderlandsIn the tradition of Ian Frazier's Great Plains, and as vivid as the work of Cormac McCarthy, an intoxicating, singularly illuminating history of the Texas borderlands from their settlement through seven generations of Roger D. Hodge's ranching family. What brought the author's family to Texas?

In the tradition of Ian Frazier's Great Plains, and as vivid as the work of Cormac McCarthy, an intoxicating, singularly illuminating history of the Texas borderlands from their settlement through seven generations of Roger D. Hodge's ranching family. What brought the author's family to Texas? What is it about Texas that for centuries has exerted a powerful allure for adventurers and scoundrels, dreamers and desperate souls, outlaws and outliers? In search of answers, Hodge travels across his home state--which he loves and hates in shifting measure--tracing the wanderings of his ancestors into forgotten histories along vanished roads. Here is an unsentimental, keenly insightful attempt to grapple with all that makes Texas so magical, punishing, and polarizing. Here is a spellbindingly evocative portrait of the borderlands--with its brutal history of colonization, conquest, and genocide; where stories of death and drugs and desperation play out daily. And here is a contemplation of what it means that the ranching industry that has sustained families like Hodge's for almost two centuries is quickly fading away, taking with it a part of our larger, deep-rooted cultural inheritance. A wholly original fusion of memoir and history--as piercing as it is elegiac--Texas Blood is a triumph.Binding Type: Paperback

Not so sure Id even give it 1 Star
Size: 36, Color: A-dark Grey
Shorts - since the beginning of time, men have worn shorts. Simple and easy. But no, not here. Lets see how complicated and stupid we can make this. First off, they fit horribly. When you sit down they ride down in the back. Then there is the material. Whatever happened to cotton or some other recognizable fabric? When I walk you can hear a swish noise. 3rd, the belt they give you doesn't even fit the stupid connector. and the final straw is the latch? Cant be simple like a button or snap, its a hook the rotates, so if its not lined up right you have to fight with it to get it lined up right to connect it - ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!!? WHY NOT a snap or button - OMG the worst shorts ever. Its like what can we do to really piss people off - well ya did it.

Very good short for my needs
Very good short for my needs. Light and functional for hot Summer days. Not strong enough for working on your yard (I have Carhartt for that).
Great for biking, kayaking, hiking and general use.
Kind of a slim fit, but the light material makes them very comfortable to wear.
I am 6.2 and 200 lbs and usually use 35 waist wrangler jeans, 36W are perfect for me.
Great value.

Awesome
I love these so far. They're really lightweight and unrestrictive. The fabric is a little bit stretchy but also seems really durable. They fit great have plenty of pockets and even come with a nice little belt. Really awesome for the price

Favorite watch / solar
Color: Green/Green
I'm partial... I have bought Timex my intire life, they no doubt make the best watches... They take a licking, but keep on ticking is there old commercials.. True.. Great quality, keeps going after many year's... I never bought a solar watch from them prior I have to mention... It should hold up I'm thinking like their battery watches, I hope so. My favorite watch, I own a handful. Watch looks better in person... Downfall, they are trying a new band out of recycled plastic, I don't like it as much as the older bands it's soft, but feels a little strange...
