This section contains a collection of articles by Anthony Garza. Anthony used to run B&O repair shop in Texas, called Beomuse. His site at www.beomuse.com contained a collection of interesting and well-written articles, but as he explains on his current home page, that site has now been shut down, and his articles are inaccessible.

We have retrieved what we can from the Internet Archive, so now Anthony’s articles are accessible again. We hope you enjoy them.

Why Bar Ditch? According to Anthony: Texas slang for a roadside ditch less than 6 feet in depth to collect excessive rain usually found on farmroads near cotton fields. If your vehicle gets caught in one, you usually just sit and think for awhile until a friendly tractor comes along to pull you out. The term “bar” may suggest a good time to enjoy a beer as you wait!
