Road Time

The road hummed under the car tires. David Morris, Rusty Klaus, and I were on a road trip. For them it was a site-seeing tour. For me it was a small step for mankind but a major step for Herman Willie. The plan was mine. We were headed to northern Montana. The Texas Aggie spring semester was done and my buddies were taking two weeks to lollygag before spending the rest of the summer at hard labor. My personal agenda required me to leave Aggieland (TAMU) early and take a job with an oil patch lease service. 01/18/2023 23:00
