My dad was a Geologist for Gulf Midland early 60’s. I went to rigs with him as a boy and would take my bb-gun with me to shoot grass hoppers the size of jumbo jets. At night in the fall when it cooled off the rattle snakes would crawl up to the rigs because of the heat and sound. The roughnecks always had cool collections of snake rattles.
My dad became a lawyer mid 60’s and moved back there in the late 60’s missing the oilfield. Then an oil exec till their company drilled one to many dry holes in the gulf. My brother was a Landman but got tired of all the travel. Summers in college I worked as a pumper so knew all about what goes on. My parents both died of Covid 5 years ago and we made way too many trips down sorting out estate stuff. Some or the **** they show is total bs but if you don’t know you don’t know. My best friend has a friend that went to HS with BB. Said he was an arrogant jerk in HS. We liked him in Sling Blade and have been fans since. Well hold off watching till the season is over and binge watch it. And let me tell you football is huge there.
