"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

Mongol Tazi
Andrew Campbell of The Regal Viszla just sent this ink drawing of a Mongolian hunter with a tazi-- reinforcing once more that they are most anciently an Asian dog.

The show Globe Trekker is going to have a segment on hunting with "desert greyhounds" tomorrow (Friday) at 8:00 p.m. EST. Desert greyhound is usually a catch-all term for saluki. It could be interesting, especially because the show is about Tunisia and Libya.
For those in West Texas/Southern NM it's on KRWG out of Las Cruces tonight at 8pm. KCOS, of course, does not have it. They do have the Osmonds 50th Anniversary Reunion. Woohoo.
Well Steve you shouldn't feel to bad. It turns out that the program description was incorrect. No sighthounds at all. The program description on Globe Trekker's website also said that falconry was supposed to be shown. Did anyone see hounds or falcons?
Steve I can't jump in anywhere else so I picked here. I met you in the GOLDEN SPUR, in Magdalena, in Feb. Me ( a firefighter from Ft. Wayne IN, and a cop from Calif, stopped in. You gave us each a copy of your book. I can't read the EMAIL address so I'm sending you mine. Cozy439@comcast.net Please send me a hit with your email address. Thanks
I would love to get in touch with you and your wife again. Thanks. Jeff Berning

Globe Trekker is on PBS. Sorry, I forgot that little detail.

Our (abysmal) local affiliate doesn't have it-- want to watch and report?

That's the kind of shite Abq puts on!

KRWG's web site schedule SPEAKS LIES! It was not on. At least I didn't miss anything.
