Dilemma - what to choose for our final "blog" day in Mason - so much to cover, so little space. Finally chose the County Jail built in 1894 and still used for the very occasional (if you can believe the literature) criminal. Rumor has it, this is the oldest continuously used jail in Texas.Unfortunately it was not open today (lack of business I guess) but we understand the sheriff took a note from another western sheriff and painted the whole interior pink, put in pink light bulbs and replaced the "prison garb" with pink ones. There was one sighting last week of a male prisoner in pink garb washing the sheriff's pickup.
In case you're in Mason on April 28th, don't miss the "Hill Country Adventure Fundraiser for Victims of Crime". (Posses and shootouts immediately came to mind...)
Meanwhile, while Barb & I did some last minute shopping before leaving town, Joe & John passed the time "counting cars" (as opposed to trucks).
