Topix Underground

That Texan had two standard poodles in the house...the big ones. I always took pictures of the jobs I'd do and if there was a dog in the house, I'd take a picture of the dog too. I'd forget who the people were but I'd remember their dogs. So when they called me for more work, I could recall them better. But I remember the Texan because I felt that it WAS appropriate for hime to be wearing a cowbot hat and boots in Michigan based on his accent and manner. I rarely make that exception. He said it gets cold in Odessa - I assumed so since I always thought Odessa was in Russia somewhere.

IT GETS COLD IN  A MISERABLE, EXTREMELY WINDY, WET, KIND OF WAY IN ODESSA, TEXAS . 15° IN A HOWLING WIND IS KIND OF CHILLY AND THE WIND COMES OFF THAT PRAIRIE PRETTY FAST..
