[OFB Cafe] Rooster Fight

[Donald Spoon]

I haven't had any other posts either!  I suspect the others might be 
busy keeping body and soul together.
As a retiree, I don't have to worry as much and keeping body and soul 
together, and it is pretty much a loosing proposition at my age <grin>.  
I search out levity now in almost any form.  It has been a pretty good 
month so far...

We had a place on the Southeast side of San Antonio back in the late 
1970s that used to engage in regular rooster fights... until the 
Guv'ment went and built an elevated cloverleaf off I-410 near the site 
that put the "fights" in view of almost any one passing by.  The 
Gendarmes had to start arresting people in order to "explain" why there 
were so many patrol cars parked there!
