And I used to go over watch TV with him. He made sure I did not like green tea just by feeding me that lol. Kathleen I loved her. Anyway we moved a year before Carl Stubbs was killed. But a wonderful lady that used to take care of him. Saw one man and a woman Identified him by pictures text Watson that is. But she told the police that she would go to jail even the pen before she would testify in court. Just so you know we only moved 3 miles to Cartago to a gas station.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11939188710617592509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-40285284202429392432019-09-14T06:56:33.117-04:002019-09-14T06:56:33.117-04:00Or perhaps he brought it out of manson...Or perhaps he brought it out of manson...Intensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125071766536404252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-63221647646483213302013-03-25T20:52:56.890-04:002013-03-25T20:52:56.890-04:00I agree with Leigh.

Also, i remember reading how he and i think Susan was secretly doing speed and did it on the night of the murders too. To me, this guy was already bad news, Manson may have brought it out of him a little more.

This blog does dig deep and get people to talk and that is appreciated. <br /><br />We'll never know for sure, but it's definitely not beyond the realm of imagination or possibility for Tex to have been involved in the Stubbs murder. In the impression of him that I took away from his own words in his own book, he seems to have been a greedy pleasure/thrill-seeker even without Manson. He liked money and had no qualms about ripping people off, as in the cases of burning Lotsapoppa and encouraging/goading/conspiring with Linda to rip off $5000 from a friend. He was dealing drugs before he fell in with Manson, when he had every advantage (unlike Manson) and plenty of potential to have done something more constructive with himself. Given the ferocity and carnage of TLB, I can imagine him as a thrill killer in other situations. And though Tex wasn't involved in Hinman, as we can see from that the whole "thinking he had money so deciding to rob him but ultimately killing him" thing wasn't exactly outside the scope of Family activities. <br /><br />Tex just seemed (and seems) like such an amoral, directionless, empty guy...I can't really put it into adequate words. Meeting Manson obviously wasn't a positive event for his character development and the trajectory of his life, but it seems he was already missing something fundamental way before that. Though I do have a visceral loathing for the man, so any post facto feelings I have about him have to be understood with that in mind.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08393740032118568782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-6210863910392364662013-03-25T11:26:09.363-04:002013-03-25T11:26:09.363-04:00I noticed how Kathleen refined the use of the word...I noticed how Kathleen refined the use of the word ranch in regard to the Hannum property. Sort of exposes how suburban diction is somewhat sloppy and imprecise. Like the way anything with four legs, in a field, is called a ‘cow’. I don’t know who thought the Barker ‘claim’ was a ranch since it was never used for grazing, had livestock, a barn, or corral. But once in the lexicon, it was there to stay.<br /><br />I’ve read several articles where Tex and Grogan were bemoaning how much manure they had to shovel and how much work they did at Spahn’s. Really?? There were around a dozen and a half adults blundering around that property with Tex and Grogan being overworked? The average person who lived on a similar sized operation would recognize the amount of BS being spread about manure shoveling in Chatsworth.<br /><br />This sticks out like a baseball referee, a seventh down, or a holding penalty in tennis. If you’re not too familiar with the sport, then the jargon could sound convincing. If you are familiar, then it sounds absurd and farcical. Same, same, GI.<br /><br />Your average Hick can surmise the size of a herd by the size of the haystack on the property. He or she would also know how long it would take to gather and stack that much hay (Spahn’s 2 – 3 days per year) with one man and a couple boys. And since in all likelihood you handled the input (storing hay bales), you would possess a deep knowledge about the amount of output (manure).<br /><br />Now that’s not to say that rural people haven’t intentionally butchered a phrase in order to make a buck, no sir. Ever heard of a Cornish Game Hen? Well they aren’t Cornish, game or even typically hens.
