Out West, Strickly, Mynar's, Wolf's, and the Pool Room which is basically the Mexican bar.i don't think a gringo has stepped foot in there in over 15 years.Some people may go to Wolf's and Strickly, and then maybe Out West, but generally the same people go to the same bar. When I drank I would bar hop and would get so drunk I'd wake up in front of a bar trying to remember if I was coming or going.sigh*<br />I get teased all the time about pulling my truck over and parking on the side of the road so I can just look at the clouds..especailly if the hawks are out soaring.<br />junney:get some sleep and write a post about your chicken/egg adventure.<br />woozie:yeah, lots of texas is flat.

We used to have a huge C&W bar in Michigan, had a buckin' bull and all. The road it was on was pure hick wilderness. I mean, you had to drive for at least 20 miles from any direction to get to the bar. It was miles and miles of wilderness...and all of a sudden this huge building, with dozens of cars. When the band I played with was playing out there, it wasn't at all unusual for 40-50 customers to report their cars stolen, the parking lot was so huge. They were so fucked up they couldn't remember where they parked!:)<br /><br />We (SC) can match your Texas clouds anytime. I sit outside and just stare at them, they are so beautiful. In the summer, it can be a cloudless sky....and in fifteen minutes it's so dark the street lights come on (if we still have power) and just all hell breaks loose!!The Future Was Yesterdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06515544130113138363noreply@blogger.com
