an 11 year old girl named Taelor Davis is a big time hunting big shot here..she shot 3 feral hogs and two Javelina hogs.The largest feral hog weighed about 300 lbs. and was shot at 150 yards. She used a .243 caliber ruger rifle with a simmons 3x9 scope..her parents had the largest hog head mounted and it hangs now on the wall among their wildlife trophies..there is a picture of her grinning from ear to ear all decked out in camy's next to one of the Javelina's she shot...i for once am going to pass on commenting on this...

No pecan pie??? That ain't right. Bad pecan tree!!!
Yeah computer!!!
It depends on if you want to go dial up or even if DSL is offered in your area. And then there is cable internet.
Dial up is the cheapest, but not from AOL.
PC online and netzero are some I've heard of that are cheaper, but may have lots of popup ads with those. You might ask whoever your phone carrier is what they charge for dial up. Sometimes, it's cheaper when you have a "package deal" with your phone and internet with the same company. I know SBC offers dial up, I just don't know how much it is.
