About Me
- PJM
- I grew up in West Texas, and could not wait to get away. I got away, and went to the University of Texas, and then on to Stanford. I saw the world, and decided what I really wanted was to be in West Texas. So here I am, right back where I started. I had it all, and found it was not that great.

Wow, they must have had strong backs!!!
ReplyDeleteWe got our daughter a steamer trunk like that to take to college!!
Makes me even more thankful for my desk job!
ReplyDeleteThey look like they might be Eskimos.
ReplyDeleteYears of experience have proven that carrying those trunks is best done as shown with the bulk of the load distributed to the hips so when they walk slightly stooped, they can carry tremendous loads.
ReplyDeleteWow, is that a long enough sentence or not!
Things go better with coke.

ReplyDeleteMy hat's off to you!!!!
The short guy in the hat in the middle (without anything on his back) looks Asian to me.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Anonymous you are so funny! I was taking a bite of my supper while reading your comment and almost choked with laughter! Thanks, I needed that!
ReplyDeleteThey are not wearing any foot-wear.
ReplyDeletethey are not Eskimo nor are they Asian with lack of shoes, hair on their feet and sizing them to the boxes they might be Hobbits.
ReplyDeleteI guess J.R.R. Tolkien was right when he said they do exist. Just a thought for any LotR fans out there, I'm sorry for the rest of you.
Ha!
