How are you?

 

[SpringStein]

I like mangos.

This would be a great thread to ask OL Uncle Mingo questions - and I'll start it off.

If, and when, I decide to go about selling some double eagle gold coins I have - how does one go about such things?

Second one - when you served as advisor to Abraham Lincoln, was he really Honest Abe or did you create that image for political gain for him?

You ask me to appraise them for you - a photo on each side will do.

I decided to get out of politics when my buddy Polk retired after his first term - having added the everything west of the Mississippi to the US.

How are you?

Thanks for asking. I am getting over my jealousy of your football team gig - slowly.

I can send you a signed piece of turf.

How far are you from Wichita Falls anyway? I assume awhile since it is very northern Texas.

By car - about 5 hours driving time one way. BTW - the actual Wichita Falls was washed away about 100 years ago - they built a man made falls about 30 years ago - because they got tired of people asking where the Falls were.

I was suppose to go there this year, but passed. I hear it is a dump... True?

I don't think it is a dump if you like flat. They do have the world's "littlest skyscraper" and the Wrestling HOF is there - also some good country western bars.

Next question - asking for a friend of course - if one's bith certificate says born in Texas, does that one have to admit being a Texan? Or could he just move the border of Texas north 5-10 miles and claim to be Mexican?

It was Mexico when you/he was born.

I think it was more the area then the entire town.
