  Paul -- Where do you think Cristobol Colon came from?
  Western Europe, yes, but the latinos you call hispanics are called that
  because their ancestry is from Colon's country. And Texas was named in the
  language of another ethnic group. Not anglo-saxon.

  Response;

  Pardon my ignorance, but WHO-o-o-o is Cristobol Colon??????

  And,.........

  Texas was named after the Tehas, (meaning - Friendly), Indians.

Good story; good info. Thank you.

Dad taught me to make wood with a crosscut saw. I still remember him
saying, "Don't ride it!" As I recall, we had a couple bow saws but they
were only used to cut small stuff in a sawhorse. Anything of firewood size
was cut with a two-man or one-man crosscut saw, which were hand sharpened
with a file as necessary. I have three crosscut saws just in case but am
your typical lazy American geezer; I prefer the noisy, smelly,
gas-and-oil-guzzling chain saw.
