My attempt to make it to my 10 acres in Terlingua Ranch and make a go of living on it. From the start it hasn't gone good at all, but I'm hopeful things will turn around!

Done Deal
I'm now officially the commander of American Legion Post 653 (Terlingua). Unfortunately it will take months to get the mess straightened out.
Dani, I had to borrow the headgear because I don't have mine yet. ;) Will look the same though other than having Commander on it rather than Vice Commander.
DD, Not at all sure congratulations are in order. We were thinking about having a celebration party, but after finding out how bad off the place was it will probably be a OH NO party. ;)
Now the long battle to shovel up and peel back all the layers of crap, neglect and underhanded embezzlement dealings left behind by the former "commander".
yu no Obama type (promises no fulfill etc) -although i voted for him twice-, meaning now yu the commander, hope yu can and will "straigthen' fings up ...this blog does an important Job with yur Legion and people like me interested in what s going on arround there in Terligua,
