The Mule of Many Colors
Long before Ol’ Pete took his trip to Washington, D.C., he had a few other adventures that were fodder for the stories we heard when we first moved here. Naturally, the history of Ol’ Pete wouldn’t be complete without documentation of those misadventures, so let me...
The Mules Will Play Godley
The playoff season has begun. Godley beat Bangs tonight 56-7, which means the Mules will meet Godley Friday night, November 18th, in Sweetwater at 7:30. This is a pretty short blog since we didn’t go to this game, and I have no first-hand observations to share...
Travels with Ol’ Pete
While Ol’ Pete spends most of his time taking pictures with people traveling through Muleshoe, he did have the opportunity to visit our nation’s capitol in 2001 for President George Bush’s inauguration. It all started with Larry and Rick Meyers, sons of Jinx and...
Mules 45-Childress 15
Tonight was Senior Night for the Mules, and their going-away present was the district trophy, presented to them by Supt. Gene Sheets after the game. They were already district champs; the win tonight merely the icing on the cake. The game started out with a bang...
Ol’ Pete, the Mule Memorial
Back in the late ‘70s a trip to visit Bill’s Aunt Ruth and Uncle Leroy Berggren at their farm between Farwell and Bovina took us through Muleshoe and by the Mule Memorial. We piled out of the car and took your typical tourist picture with the mule. Who knew that in...
Mules 54 (or 53)-River Road 7
The Mules ventured to Amarillo to play River Road Friday night. Coming off the big win against Littlefield last week and expecting River Road to be a probable win could have spelled disaster for the Mules, who needed to win this one to be assured of...
All Good Pets Must Surely Go to Heaven
I helped my friend Sheila put to rest her two little dog companions, Scruffy and Buddy, last Wednesday. We buried them beside the walking path around our pasture, a place they liked to visit and explore. That same pasture is also the final resting place of my black...
Mules 49-Littlefield 42
For you Two-Percenters who failed to fill your reserved seats tonight, it is your loss. Tonight was quintessential football, a fight to the finish, a great game. A heck of a game! Littlefield came to play; the Mules were out to defend their 43-8 shellacking of the...
How ‘bout That Haboob!
According to Wikipedia, a haboob is an intense wind storm that occurs in Africa, India, Australia, the Middle East, America, heck, anywhere it is arid and sandy. Arid and sandy. Well, no wonder we had one yesterday. Straight out of the dust bowl. This is what it...
Mules 62-Friona 21
Okay, so here’s the deal. I took copious notes last night, slept late this morning, now need to help with a tiling project, and the blog is still not done. For those of you who might be faithful readers, I apologize for my lack of discipline and lateness with...
