Keep This One Handy

 

1. What is wrong with a few oil wells? In Texas we celebrate oil wells. There is a little town south of Austin called Luling. This is what they do with their oil wells.

   There are almost two hundred oil well pump jacks within the city limits of Luling. The Chamber of Commerce commissioned a local artist/sign painter to create moveable art to decorate many of the wells along the highways.

   Oil wells don’t really bother livestock or wild animals all that much, unless they blow out or catch on fire. They don’t do that very often. It doesn’t bother me a bit to gaze upon the beauty of mother nature, with a few oil wells, or several thousand cattle in the middle of the picture. This is Texas, I prefer it that way.

   Oil wells may give off a funny odor, but as my daddy told me whenever I complained about cleaning out the pig pens:

   Son, that smells like money. Be grateful!

2. My Problem:  Anytime anyone from The Government tells me not to worry.

   Also OCM and I are offended by your comparisons.  Me by the reference to granola and birkenstocks; him by the long hair and dope smoking. 

   The EPA should categorize patchouli along with smouldering manure piles and burning used tire dumps. I still remember walking down the college streets, meeting someone, and having a patchouli shock wave hit me when I was ten feet past them.

3. OCM: Are you fantacising or reminiscing?
   My future wife was/is pretty foxy but, in college, my hair was longer than hers.  She shaved her leg and armpits; I could live without the musk oil too.

   If you had to give up half of your sex life, which half would it be, thinking about it or talking about it?
