This morning, when I saw John, I told him about me loaning Kinky his book, ‘Velma the Vomiting Vulture’ to read. I gave Kinky a twenty-four hour time period to read it. Yesterday when I went over to the Lodge to get my book back—Kinky had read it, liked it, and wants to send a copy to his editors!
John was once again amazed. Then he told me that his mother, Mary, had sent him several copies of his book, and he wanted to give me a few copies to share with my friends. I told him that I only needed one copy. And, that was a bold face lie.
I lied, because I am fortunate to have more friends than you can shake a stick at, and I would have needed more than a hundred copies, and I wasn’t about to ask John for a hundred free copies of his book.
John went to the van and gave me one book, and then he went back to work, and I came back to the trailer—and then it hit me! I’m going to have a contest, and the winner will receive a signed copy of ‘Velma the Vomiting Vulture!
Anyone can enter—except John’s family and the NoMads, because they already have a copy and love the book! The contest will last for twenty-four hours—starting now! And the winner will be posted at noon, tomorrow! John, Tony and I will be the judges. When the winner is announced, I will need for the winner to call the rescue ranch at 830-589-7544 asap—to give me their address and how they want John to sign it.
All that you have to do is write a comment on this blog, telling me, in twenty-five words or less, why you think you deserve to win the free copy of “Velma the Vomiting Vulture.” That’s all there is to it—so do it. I can’t wait to read your comments!
P.S. John is going to kill me when he reads this and finds out what I’ve done! Laugh out loud!

I’m deserving, because I’m Texan, Mexican, Jewish and a lawyer!
Posting for my daughter Kikki who is epected to have her first baby any day and still has not named him. Poor baby Bump.LOL
As a child I loved watching Velmas catch the air current, fly so high, so graceful, so large and I wondered if they knew how important they were to us.
John's vomiting vulture flying overhead beats Kotzwinkle's farting dog down below (you know-- rock, scissors, paper). Book goes to our three year old granddaughter.
