   Agreed. You reinforce the point I was   
   trying to get across. Also, I wonder   
   if McCarthy has spent much time on a   
   horse himself.   
      
   Incidentally, as far as I know he moved   
   from El Paso several years ago. I wonder   
   what he's writing about now from wherever   
   he landed - Santa Fe I seem to recall.
