When you need to have somebody fix your wellhead, they can't be close enough. I imagine this guy probably can do all sorts of other things, too, which is pretty admirable. When you live in the country, database management is not the most useful talent to have.

Before I could get some gas at this convenience store, I had to shoo away an old blue tic hound dog warming himself in the sun but blocking the gas pump. He moved but only after he gave me a sad hang-dog look. Just then another driver pulled up (about my age) and said, "Excuse me, young man, have I passed the chicken ranch? He hadn't. It was just a bit more down the road.
