My Town Monday

I didn't get a My Town Monday post written up on my days off this week and my weekend in packed full of flag football games and what not so I have no real post to offer this week . Instead I'll give y'all a video from one of the funniest people to ever call the Texas Panhandle home.




Ron White first gained national fame as part of the Blue Collar comedy tour alongside Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, and Larry the Cable Guy.

Ron usually performs his act clad in all black, smoking, and sipping scotch. He hails from Fritch, Texas which is 30 miles northeast of Amarillo.

You can buy his CDs,DVDs, and book here. Or find his official website here. For those of you in or around Amarillo, he is scheduled to appear on Amarillo on October 11th.

    Sounds like a busy weekend, Travis, so don't apologize. I took a shortcut, too, but at least put up a photo of foggy San Clemente. Mary is so right about all of us needing a laugh this week.

    Women of Mystery's MTM is up, too.

    From the first time I saw Ron White, he reminded me of so many of the local businessmen I'd grown up around in Dallas. Loudmouthed, willing to offend, hardliving, and grinning about it the whole way.
