Yesterday, Allen H., locomotive on the A-train group, posted a handy guide to various Texas geographical & other (Texas) oddities. It threw me into a state of unregenerate nostalgia.
I lived in White Flat, TX from the ages of 6 to 7 YO. I went to school in Matador, Texas, 10 miles to the south. They are places of primal beauty. Well, in their own way.
Oh. Nearly forgot. I *started* first grade in Flomot, TX.
I remember my first day of school. What I noticed was that there were Other People there and all the noise bothered me. I was upset that I was going to have go back the next day. I threatened to burn the school down.
I may be possessed of a disposition as sweet, agreeable & generally compliant as a body might ever want to meet, but do not test me. I had a childhood in the Texas Panhandle.
Yaaahooo!
