THE RANCH

This neon sign, which is pretty f-ing cool lookin', is for The Ranch country radio station that resides inside The Jett Building in downtown Fort Worth's ritzy tourist trap, Sundance Square.

I'm not a fan of modern day country (it's just rock 'n roll with a twang) but I am a fan of cool signs and this sign qualifies as cool.

From the dressed up cowboy roping the word "ranch" to the Texas state flag design below that to the rustic old fence that the word "ranch" is branded on.

All around cool and colorful.

M. L. LEDDY'S: Hand Made Boots

M.L. Leddy's is world famous for producing hand made high quality western wear, including boots, belts, buckles, saddles, chaps, etc. Basically, if you want to become a cowboy go to Leddy's and you can get yourself set up right.

While perusing through their store in Fort Worth's historic Stock Yards, I picked up a pair of ostrich skin boots and looked at the price tag: $2,075!

"Wooooo!" I thought. "Hot damn tamales!"

I put them suckers back down and real nicely too 'cause I didn't want to damage merchandise that cost that much.

They also had a pair of jeans on sale for 75% off and they still cost --- get ready for this --- $375!!

So what I did get, and it was free, by God, was this photograph of their bad ass boot-shaped neon sign.
