“City livin' won't knock you out,

But it sure can cause a standin' 8 count.

Tired of blarin' horns & red lights?

Need a place where you can still see lots'a

real stars at night?

Tired of breathin' nothing but smog?

How about some fresh mountain air with a

snow-capped view from a cabin of log!”

     The Summers, Homemaker, Engineer, Richardson, TX
