"So, it's a hot one today", I said with my hands thrust deep into my pockets as I rolled a particularly odd shaped pebble around in the dirt with my big toe. "Specially with it not being summer and all yet". "Yup". That was the only reply that our neighbor Bubba ever gave. Just about that moment, my main woman Beth Marie, stuck her head out the hole in the screen door and screeched, "Come and git yer supper before I slop it all to the hogs!". Boy, you don't have to tell me twice! I was a scadaddling my way to the table to get me some of that home cooked grub. We had ourselves quite the meal. I managed to chew me up some chicken and some of there those potato's that you can mix up right out of a box. Whooooweeee! And for a real treat, the wife even thawed out some of them frozen veggies from the ice box. We be living large tonight!
Well, I hear the wife calling to me to snuff out the candle, so I had better figure out how to shut down this here fancy 'puter. Y'all come back now, ya hear!

See!!...what did I tell you about Texas! It is REALLY starting to affect you!
Great post, Bro! Made me laugh! You think you have a strange neighbor? Wait till you see what we got next door! We call him "Jump Man" because he really likes his trampoline...funny thing to watch a grown man having so much fun all by himself. Scary actually.
