Pretty sure he does that too, (don't know who he is, just guessing) but yeah, that’s a better plan.

Yep and the rich don’t care how much it costs to shoot record bulls on property in theirs or their friends HOA. With a “low fence”

Then I'll be pissing all my money away on fun stuff like these Governor tags and raffles. I know the first step will be to parlay that first 2 dollars, but I think I have a chance. Fingers crossed...
