“But to stand about the center of this section of prairie and to look and breathe! I think that if I did this often I would sprout wings.”

William A. Quayle in “The Prairie and the Sea.” 1905

  1. Mandy in some parts of Texas they do——I use to spend several summers when I was growing up working on a ranch in Texas & they called their ponds “tanks”—— & they told me to move cattle from one pasture to another & then they would meet me at the “tank” in the next pasture—Well I rode & rode & rode looking for a stock tank———they meant the darned pond!!!
    They just talk funny down there!!!!!! 🙂
