Accidental Cowgirl

Are there more old people here or something? I don't remember seeing so many beautiful aged males in Australia. The old women are sweet but I have dicovered a soft spot for cute old Texan men. (Note:This bodes well for my old age)

This is Lynn- he is 70 and still runs his alternator repair shop with 1950's type equipment out of a shed in Kilgore. Scrubbed, hair combed and sparkling eyes. Cutie huh?

He tried to charge us nothing for the work he did on the alternator- we eventually settled on a reduced price and a bag of home grown tomatoes. It's about a hundred degrees in that shed too!

Driving south through a country town, I spotted two striking figures sitting in a doorway. A white man dressed in a crisp shirt and cowboy hat, and a black man in a baseball cap. I turned the car around but by the time I got back, Louie here was sitting alone. I asked about him and his now absent partner:

Well, John and I have been friends since we were 8 years old and he retired last year. He said to me 'Louie what I am going to do when I retire?' I said 'Well, you can come sit with me'

And so that's what they do, every day. They sit in a doorway and watch the world go by.
