NEW STAMP DESIGN CARVED AND BOX REPLANTED 10/30/2011
Howdy! My name is Tex, Tex San Jacinto! I'm a proud member of the University of Texas class of '21. I love U.T., and visit my friends there every chance I get. I have such a nice time that I thought I'd hide a letterbox for you to find, so you could enjoy the campus too. But boy-howdy I had a hard time finding someone to hold it for me!
First I went to visit my friend Etter Harbin. But he wasn't home. There was a nice lady sitting in front of his house, though, so I asked her if she'd take the box for me. She seemed busy working on her homework, and gave me a kinda' snooty look, so I decided to move on.
I saw a guy sitting off to my right, so I thought I'd ask him if he could help. He was friendlier, but said he wasn't going to be around long enough to help out. He showed me the book he was going to read next, "Goodbye to a River," but I don't know what that's about. I'm not much into reading books. So I said goodbye to him and looked around.
I got kind of spooked then, because when I looked over to my right I saw a great big longhorn, running loose. What's stranger is that he looked like he was wearing stilts! Who'd put stilts on a longhorn? A mighty brave man if you ask me. Or a mighty stupid man.
The longhorn was looking across the way at a fella who was talkin' to a little girl, so I went over to ask them if they could help, keeping a good watch on the stilts-wearin' longhorn so it wouldn't sneak up on me. The feller was showin' the little girl a calf, and their two horses were lookin' on. I asked if they'd be able to hold a letterbox for you, but they said that they had to take the calf back to her momma so they wouldn't be able to help. But they said their friend Moss might be able to assist me, and pointed over past their horses toward another fella' who was standin' alone.
I went to talk to that guy, Moss, and he seemed like a real spirited fella', all excited about the Longhorns and all. When I could get a word in edgewise I told him about letterboxing and asked if he could hold a box for you. He said he'd be glad to help but he didn't have anywhere to hold a box, and all his pockets were made out of metal and welded shut, so that wouldn't work. Talkin' with Moss I looked over his right shoulder and saw another lady. I hoped maybe she'd be able to help me, because I was getting tired and in the mood for a nice gelato, so I headed over to talk with her.
This lady, Nancy, was readin' to some kids and a pretty dawg. I liked the dawg, 'cuz he was friendly and had his front legs crossed dainty-like. The kids were nice too, but kinda' fidgity, maybe because Nancy was reading them something kinda' serious. Anyway, Nancy said she'd be glad to hold the letterbox for you but that she'd have to hide it somewhere kinda' undignified. So she's carrying the letterbox now. I didn't want to ask too much about where she hid it, because I'm a gentleman, but maybe you can find it?
Once I was done with my letterbox I walked back to my right and got my gelato, then kept walking along the creek. It's one of the prettiest places on the U.T. campus and one of my favorite places to sit and think. I hope you enjoyed it too!
Note: If you come during the workday your closest parking will be at the San Jacinto Garage (see http://www.utexas.edu/parking). After 5:30pm and on weekends you could park along the street.
This box is hidden in an open area that is heavily used during football games, special events and during the business day. So PLEASE be very careful not to be seen when removing it from its hiding place and when putting it back! I no longer live near Austin, so I need your help maintaining this letterbox!
