Wes riding Cheyenne

Wes was my neighbor from the time I was a baby until high school graduation.  After graduation he moved away for a while and he recently moved back home, so he is once again my neighbor.  We basically grew up together.   He is the person who gave me the nick name "Idius" and my web page wouldn't be complete without  mentioning him.  In seventh grade I gave him the name "Idius Begoonus" because we were learning about scientific names (kingdom, family, genus, species) and I wanted to give him a descriptive name similar to a scientific name.  "Idius" was supposed to be a Latin sounding name for "idiot" and "Begoonus" was suposed to be the Latin sounding version of Begoon.  Once I started calling him by his new name he started calling me "Idius Sticklius" and then eventually just plain "Idius."  Soon afterwards a lot of people began calling me "Idius."  The name has stuck for years now. There are even some people who don't know my real name, they just know me as Idius.

Wes doesn't have a web page, so I don't have any pages to link to.  He's not exactly a "computer person,"  He spends more time riding in rodeos than he spends using computers.
