Can anyone attest to the old horny toad legend? Is it true? or just a tall tale? 31 years is a long time to be by yourself. Hoping some Eastland guys can weigh in. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/04/full-69876-418088-screen_shot_2024_04_11_at_9.39.25_pm.png)

My aunt and uncle had the Corner Drug in Eastland for many years and that was where I grew up. Everyone swore the story was true

My grandparents were originally from Eastland and I can remember reading the newspaper article about Ol' RIP that my grandmother had in a scrapbook. Whether it is true or not, I do not know, but it was reported in the local newspaper.
Tired, Wired, and Uninspired

You have to remember, they might not be drinking as much as we are.

Good friend of mines law office is just off the square in Eastland-he can tell you all about it.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR
Keep your gratitude higher than your expectations. RWH
