Lyrics excerpt ...

...
[Verse 1: Nick Richards]
Riding on the range
I've got my hat on
I've got my boots dusty
I've got my saddle on my horse
He's called T-T-T-T-T-Trigger
Of course

[Chorus: Nick Richards]
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy

[Verse 2: Heidi Lea & Nick Richards]
Riding on the chuck wagon
Following my man
His name is Ted
Can you believe that?

(Ted, oh, Ted! Fighting off danger)
Camping on the prairie
Plays havoc with my hair
Makes me feel quite dirty
Though we all do sometimes
(Ted gets so dirty)

Christian girls summer camp devastated by floods holds decades-long history with presidents, Texas politicos (Mon, July 7, 2025 at 3:59 PM EDT)

... More than two dozen children have died from the devastating flash floods gripping Texas' Hill Country, which is home to popular youth summer camps, including Camp Mystic, a Christian girls' summer program that holds deep roots with Texas politicians and presidential families stretching back decades.

Flash floods inundated Kerr County, Texas, and the surrounding area in central Texas' Hill Country early on the Fourth of July holiday. Warnings over the flooding were issued Thursday, but the devastation hit the area in the early morning hours of Friday, taking residents by surprise.

Kerr County, Texas, is home to a handful of youth summer camps, including Camp Mystic, a Christian girls summer camp established in 1926 by University of Texas football and basketball coach "Doc" Stewart.

At least 27 campers and counselors were confirmed dead, and the camp was devastated by the waters that flooded the Guadalupe River and tore through the surrounding communities, according to Camp Mystic's website.

"Today I visited Camp Mystic. It, and the river running beside it, were horrendously ravaged in ways unlike I've seen in any natural disaster," Abbott posted to X Saturday. "The height the rushing water reached to the top of cabins was shocking. We won't stop until we find every girl who was in those cabins."

The camp describes itself as one that focuses on promoting spiritual growth and bringing out the best in campers during their stays, according to its website.

"Camp Mystic is a private Christian summer camp for girls," the camp says on its website. "Established in 1926, Mystic is nestled among cypress, live oak, and pecan trees in the hill country of west-central Texas on the banks of the beautiful Guadalupe River. Mystic is located near the geographical center of Texas, 18 miles northwest of Kerrville. The staff at Mystic strives to provide young girls with a wholesome Christian atmosphere in which they can develop outstanding personal qualities and self-esteem." ...

... The catastrophic floods that hit central Texas over the weekend caused the Guadalupe River to flood so high it broke a 93-year-old record by nearly a foot.

Newsweek reached out to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Austin, which is the forecast region for Hunt, Texas, where the record was set, by phone for comment.
Why It Matters

On Friday, the NWS issued urgent warnings to people across central Texas amid heavy downpours that resulted in months' worth of rain at once, prompting the Guadalupe River to surge around 25 feet in only 45 minutes. ...


@#68 ... It worked out badly for her. ...

Well, yeah. But why?


From #45 ...

... Curious that no one wanted to put their signature on the FBI Memo making this announcement. ( www.justice.gov )

Stated differently, the FBI memo is unsigned.

No one seems to want to take responsibility for publishing it.

Why? ...



Why did it, as your current alias has said, work out badly for her?

Maybe because the AG flat-out lied?

I wish I knew.
