Dude, please tell me I gave you a Clue button (or ten) at some point this year, or that you at least have one of the ones I sent out with Medic4 in '01. Because goddamn, you've got one.

That may be, but I thought that it came--or maybe also came--from "vaquero," as Mexicans/Latin Americans were the original cowboys in the 19th century sence.

Now here's my question. Is Bob Theo?

Vaquero is tender of cattle.

Just as pastor is tender of sheep.

And from vaquero, we got buckaroo.

Or there's caballero, a man of the horse.

Which reminds me...

Zapata and his Sandalista rebels were on the run in the mountains for days, and came to a difficult fork in the canyon.

One of his men asked,

¿Adónde va, Zapata?

The rebel leader answered,

¡No voy a zapata... Voy al caballo!
