One Riot, One Ranger
There is a saying in Texas, “One Riot, One Ranger.”In the old west, a Texas Ranger was considered the ultimate authority to quell disturbance. With blazing guns, or whatever means the Ranger appropriated, desperadoes would be vanquished, crowds dispersed, women and children protected.Only one Ranger was sent, because one Ranger can design a solution to any crisis. The Ranger recruited local resources, and implemented the solution.

Some of you know that I have my own business as a consultant and usually work alone. However, I’m quick to lasso resources, hooking up with former team members and professional associates for any job that requires help.
When I started out, I explained the value of this to a friend. Without the overhead of a larger organization, I bring no need to cover fixed costs. With a wide network of friends and associates, I can generally find whatever help I need quickly. And because we hook up for a specific project, we disperse just as quickly once the job is finished.
He suggested that this reminded him of the Texas Rangers.
A few weeks ago I was contacted by a gentleman who is quite a fan of the Texas Rangers. He had found my explanation and wanted to be sure I was properly outfitted for my adventures.
Among the variety of items in the wonderful package he sent, is my new favorite mug.
Thanks Bruce!
