So. Tornintak has a brother named Dralin (in okie you say it drah-lun).
Mammatus says of him "bless his heart he's just a free spirit". He mainly lives out west working as a ranch hand in the desert, but he's always on the move living in the saddle and sleeping under the sky. He likes cowboy philosophy and poetry. Big fan of Woody. He's all about appreciating what you have and thinks sunsets are the real treasure. He rolls into town pretty regular for family dinner in the afternoon. He's a charmer, life of the party in his quiet John Wayne way. But you never know who he's bringing with him. Just himself? A few other cowboys? 1000 head of cattle and a whole rodeo? Torny hears them coming on the wind and tells Mamma, and she starts cooking. Dralin sure can eat. Sometimes when Mamma is feeling feisty in the spring she gets angry about all the work she does to feed him and all his "friends". Some of Mamma & Torny's worst fights happen when Dralin is coming to town. But afterward when everything's been eaten and the sky clears, the south wind starts to calm, and we look to the sunset and the stars and appreciate our real treasures.
