Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
I'm not sleepy
and there ain't no place I'm goin' to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning,
I'll come followin' you
Take me for a trip upon
your magic swirling ship
All my senses have been stripped
And my hands can't feel to grip
And my toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'
I'm ready to go anywhere,
I'm ready for to fade
Unto my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it
It’s gone. Dust in the Wind. Don’t forget.
It’s gone. Dust in the Wind. Don’t forget.
Is that Musk, looking for more grift, waste and theft?
I don’t know. But, I do know one thing– that is not me out there chasing some damn horse! I DO NOT CHASE HORSES! They come when I call, or I do something else. I do take patient care to teach them the gourmet rewards of coming when called–but, I WILL NOT CHASE A HORSE! Dang that seems about as stupid as a human can be!!
A New Presidential Visage on Mt Rushmore?
======================
Karl says there could be if Mr Trump does these few things right now.

The effect?
You drop the demand for housing, especially at the lower (mostly rental) end which makes housing for lesser-skilled Americans much more affordable and, at the same time, you reduce the supply of lesser-skilled labor which of course presses wages upward for those very same Americans.
This in turn dissipates the price impact of tariffs on those below the median income and earnings capacity line dramatically by both lifting their wages and slashing their cost of living both for housing and medical care.
And by the early fall of 2026 right into the maw of the midterm elections?
Those Americans — everyone of median income capacity and below — will be talking about chiseling your visage on Mt. Rushmore and buying up all the American-made chisels and hammers from Home Depot to go get it done.
The way you get the truth out of this thing
is to grab it around the back of it’s neck and slam it’s face into the table HARD then ask it, “Are you a dood?”

I think that cowboy might be DT 🙂
🙂 DT took the picture … in Dodge City.
Damn. Thought maybe we caught a glimpse.
🙂
It’s sort of hard to tell from the picture, I can’t see if there is a center crease, but that is a very distinctive western hat. It looks like a hat that “Gus McCraw” from Lonesome Dove movies wore, or Tom Mix, but with a larger upturned brim. I wonder if that is a style peculiar to Kansas prairie.
My dad had a hat like that which I inherited, and he was from eastern Kansas, but the brim is not so turned up. Maybe it’s breezy on the Kansas prairie, and the upturned brim is easier to grab and hold, as the rancher is showing.
My favorite hat is a wide-brim Akubra.
It’s really interesting. I can’t point to any specific details, but that looks like an Aussie hat. The styling cues of hats are so subtle, but they speak loudly. I guess if you watch enough movies, you learn to see the style and associate to the man.
For instance, what does it mean that these two gents both have a hat with a dent on one side?
It is an Aussie hat. I don’t care for curled up sides. Never found a Stetson I cared for. But hats are as personal – or more so – than any other article of clothing.
Charley Waite had similar in Open Range.
For the discussion about Aussie cowboy hats and cowboys I offer you this one of the finest pieces and most beautiful pieces of cinema. Enjoy:
