Lone Star Observations, Odessa, TX
It’s been documented that Eskimos have an unusually large number of words for snow. Which makes sense given the fact that it makes up 98% of what 
the Eskimo sees on a daily basis. Following suit, I have come up with 250 words for “nothingness”. Most of these terms involve guttural sounds and tears, especially when describing the planet of West Texas.
Lone Star Observation 1a:
I met a man named Jake near Odessa, TX who explained to me that just like the oceans have their own laws of salvage, so do the forbidden zones of West Texas. If someone finds an object abandoned on the road, it becomes the finder’s property. When I asked him if that included people, he replied with a question of his own: “How tall are you?”
Lone Star Observation 1b:
Six years after WWII officially ended, there were reports of Japanese soldiers still fighting for the empire on remote islands in the South Pacific. They either weren’t informed that the war had ended or they were in complete denial. So it is with the Presidency of George W. Bush and the inhabitants of West Texas.
A warm wind is blowing me towards the Austin city limits and my new home The Lone Star RV Estates. It’s been a long haul but something in the humidity tells me the t-shirts here will be worth the miles.
God Bless Texas,
Gabe
