Barbed Wire



We do not see too much of it around here. Barbed wire that is. That infamous stuff that changed the west and killed the cattle drives!
Being a Texan, I spotted it right off. The same stuff that covers tens of thousands of miles of ranchland across my beloved home State. This did look a little peculiar, however, attached to concrete “fence post” and stuck in place by a blob of mortar! This is something you won’t see back home. I guess the hungry termites here dictate this use and they haven’t discovered the metal post we use yet. All this talk makes me want to break out into a verse of, “Home, Home on the Range….where the deer and the antelope play.” Rick
