I checked out the newspaper website to see if they had the story and picture. NONE. I sent a email to the paper asking if they could attach the story and picture to me. Still cannot believe it.

I was kind of waiting to see if someone already contacted this guy, because I bet he's been swamped by now. Most of the folks in that neck of the woods know the Indigo, obviously he is an exception.
IF NOT - I'll go see him myself, our Hondo Ranch (complete with Texas Indigos), is only a few miles from his house.

Most of those folks know better, in the BBQ joint there in Hondo are photos of Indigos eating diamondbacks, so I guess this guy is a vegetarian!
