With vette, it's the donkeys that should be worried.

Only West Texas? Dude, ALL of Texas is awesome! I left my home state a year ago, but my heart is still there.
And armadillos, tumble weeds, sand storms, long summers of 100+ degrees, best women on earth, Dr. Pepper, pick-up trucks, bikers, cottonwood trees, beaches, etc.. It's ALL good!
And yet the elephants seem to dominate.They do have a lot of Democrats down there.

West Texas is one of those places that looks kinda cool but when you look below the surface you realize it's a festering shit hole.

The Pecos meeting the Rio Grande...
...west of the Pecos is the whitish cliffs, east is at your immediate left hand.
The Pecos' north direction starts at your right...
...and that's Mexico in the gap.
Nice swimmin' hole, eh?

You folks narrow mindedness is really shining bright at this moment.

Looking west from the Del Rio (US) side of the border...
...which is marked by the Rio Grande flowing east (and south to Brownsville and the Gulf of Mexico 316 miles away) at your left.
If you look closely at Lake Amistad (friendship) Dam, you can see the border post exactly in the center of it...
...the entire reservior itself is also bordered in half like that - marked by buoys.
That's a Mexican federal army base on the left immediately across the Dam...
...and if you could see to your left even more across the Rio, you'd spot the fastest growing city in Mexico, Ciudad Acuña, metro population about a quarter of a million people.

Hot Springs on the Rio - yep, that's Mexico to your left

This is the Rio as it slithers along the bottom of the canyons dividing Mexico and the US, Mexico here being again on the left. You might gather from this shot why a fence along the entire US/Mexico border is totally unnecessary in many locations...

Despite the beauty...
...it can be rough living out here where the Comanche, the Apache, and the Kickapoo last roamed freely.
For more of the feel of the lifestyle of the general area...
...check-out the flick No Country For Old Men, and/or James Lee Burke's novel Rain Gods and its sequel, Feast Day of Fools.
