I didn’t know it was part of Cider Days. Hmmmmmmm…..cider.
We have here beer days, where a concert takes place also, we used to be in that show in the past too, it was beer everywhere and grilled meat.Man…
Right now we have refugees… from the blackouts caused by Hurricane Ike. Yep, our little town Bryan/ College Station has all its power and water. Every town east of us has none, and therefore no pumps working at gas stations. No deliveries, grocers throwing out inventories….
People drive from all over East and Gulf Texas with their pickup trucks loaded with gas cans in the beds. They fill up all the cans and their vehicle and go back to where they came from.
Those coming in for gas and bread… oh btw we have no bread left on the shelves… drive the 200 mile round trip from Houston and back. Yes, you guessed it there have been gunfights at the gas pumps, you know Texans and all that fantasized bravado.
So the beer and gas and milk and bread of Texans along East Texas is all gone, and frozen stuff is all spoiled. So when you all look up at that Autumn Moon think of how a full moon might drastically affect Texans during Road Rage in East Texas… and what ever comes to mind, it is probably happening here.
