Hey Spanky--have you ever been to Crockett Texas?
While booshwa Bev is partying in the sandbox watching 3 hours of 0-0, I have spent the holiday with my family on my daughter's ranch hidden in the middle of nowhere between Centerville(pop approx4000) and Crockett(pop6322) Texas. With my 4week old great grandson.
Crockett reminds me of the movie The Last Picture Show(scripted by the father of a favorite folkie James McMurtry). While my family was browsing the resale shops(where I watched a gentlemanly Texan kindly put his spit cup in his back pocket before entering) I wandered down the street to find a statue of a childhood favorite Lightnin' Hopkins(born in Centerville1912). Listened to hm on Sirius all the way home.
No World Cup, though the Texas Baylor game was blasting on radios everywhere.
Did you get it right, Spank? Longhorn cover......
Enjoying the music choices in the other folders.....

Have never been there spider but may have driven through it the one time I drove through that part of Texas. I did hit the Texas game and think they have one of the best RB combos in the country. Like the Bungles in the NFL this week...Spit cup is common around here but so gross...lol...wow, a great grandson is cool to be around long enough to enjoy that! I have a picture from our local newspaper that shows 5 generations of my Mom's family...

Named after Davy Crockett?
Start the morning with a blues standard.

Seems that way, hooper…. Davy Crockett drug store and bank, though born on a mountain top in Tennessee as the song goes. Died fighting at the Alamo?
Very cool short Camp street with murals of old blues men leading to the statue, with a small music club across. Used to be where the blues legends play.
A town from a twilight zone time warp scene—-very friendly modest people. Everyone drives a pickup truck, bigger is better……slow pace nice life—safe
Googled it—yes on the town name — stayed there on way to alamo

Some of those pick up trucks are in the $60 range, more than I paid for my first home!
