El Paso and west Texas
Thru Arizona, I got 18 yeahs to 6 negatives - the yeahs included claps, fists in the air, and lots of honks; the negatives were 2 f.u.'s, 3 thumbs down, and one guy did a cut across the neck - whatever that means.
I entered Texas thru El Paso - remembering the young women murdered here and across the border in Ciudad Juarez. I pick up a police escort almost immediately. I ignore him.
Several cars honk & wave. Then one of those dually trucks, dark green, goes by, carrying several brown men in the front and back seats. They raise their fists as they pass and the guy in the back seat, rolls down the window, and blows kisses out of the truck at me! I blow them back.
Another sherrif's car has pulled onto the highway behind me & follows me all the way out of town. I don't look back.
Other than the dark green truck & her passengers, I cannot find anything beautiful about this part of Texas altho I am not getting any f.u.'s yet & the police didn't pull me over so.... also, i'm attempting to be more open to finding beauty in Texas - afterall, Texas did produce Barbara Jordan and Ann Richards, not to mention Molly Ivins - so I'll keep my eyes peeled.
Onward to Dallas/Ft Worth where I'll meet with cp'ers! peace, sam

How can you say that you have not found anything beautiful about Texas going through El Paso. I am tired of all of you people that don't even stop in El Paso and explore it and just assume that its not a beautiful city.

:) You know what the slice across his neck means Sam. Oh yes you do. It's what the Islamic Faschists would do to your little neck in Iraq or Iran. Thats what our precious young men and women, and our President are trying to protect you from in Iraq. They are trying to keep someone from separating your sorry head from your body. BTW you might want to rethink staying in those dark pull-offs. Not a good decision.
