Wednesday’s Guest – Slim Randles
Here is another offering from humorist, Slim Randles, and his “Home Country” syndicated column. By the time we saw Dud, of course, the damage had been done. It was Steve who spoke first. “I don’t believe it,” the tall cowboy said. We all turned then, and the full impact of the deed struck us almost […]
