So, I now have a grand total of 1 song by Willie Nelson in my iTunes library, Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly (Fond of Each Other). I have to say it’s a pretty decent tune even if I’m not usually into the country thing.

I like the line that cowboys who brag the most about what they’ve done with their ladies are the most likely to be queer.

And if you buy any iTunes songs, be sure to click the iTunes link on the right side of the blog first.

The first tomb discovered in the Valley of the Kings since King Tut’s in 1922 was found only 16 feet from Tut’s. The occupants are not believed to have been royalty, but members of the court in the 18th dynasty. Exciting since archaeologists had believed the Valley had been thoroughly picked over long ago.
