Love it. A tourism tanka, they might be able to stretch their advertising dollars, promoting areas in this manner.

Oh Daver, Tumbleweeds and Cactus, a fitting write for Wild Bill! I went to the foothills for Christmas...ski slopes, but the snow blast hadn't come...whewww.:)) What I had seen was more December fog and some alpacas. Not wild ones but as tame, I suppose, as they might be? I wonder, are they shorn like a sheep? I'll bet that would make them look odd, and no longer haughty. Ah, the mystical magical fog...my muse went into overdrive which isn't always a good thing.:( Love you, Mikki

I love these old western stories -- big, bold lives in harsh bad lands. Nicely done.
