but they rather eXtinguish the chaps
who wear them. for all you can see COR

OF the giddily gay neckties.
Fl Paso doesn't have its Easter
spring fashion parade like the cities OF

folks who are unfortunate enough to
live there have TO hug TO winter buds
as long as they can Fl Paso has such
gorgeous sunshiny weather through
its winter season that by the last OF
February. usually. everyone is donning
spring hats and light weight suits.
We are Independent enough TO follow
our comfort rather than convention in

Jokes on the various people in the

themselves into motor T
