Vaqueros Galore And Bizzaro Sombreros

 March 31, 2026

   Sometimes when you look back you can see ahead. . .

Whip Outs Galore

   If you ask me, there is a book shaping up around all those colorful vaqueros.

"Truth is the daughter of time."

—Old Vaquero Saying

Daily Whip Out: "Truthful Daughter"

    And, if you ask the old vaqueros, how you begin a book is rather important:

Wake Up!

"Well begun is half done."

—Old Vaquero Saying

More Bizzaro Somberos!

A sea of deep dish sombreros

   What is with this bizarre upcurl brim? Here's another good look at them. . .

   That is a traditional sombrero on the left, then we get a half-barrel, but the guy on the right is wearing a flower pot—on his head! I have been sending out the word to all my compadres on the border—that would be you Greg Scott!—who started this, when did it die and what the hell was it called? It must have had a name.

This Pulque Pendejo Still Takes The Cake

   However, I do know that the enthusiasm for a book on this narrow subculture may not appeal to everyone. Gee, I wonder if the old vaqueros have a saying for THAT? 

"There is no worse robber than a bad book."

—Old Vaquero Saying
