Tom Dodge is the sage of
Midlothian. I have enjoyed
his public-radio commentaries for years. The other day I picked up a
copy of his essay collection, Tom Dodge Talks About Texas.
Well, one of those little pieces sent me off on a reverie almost
immediately. It was about Big Jim Tidwell of Whitney - "The Fender
Skirt King of Texas."
And I thought, "Fender skirts!" What a great blast from the past!

| "The truth is not
comforting: It is that youth always adopts society's values.
Whatever society rewards, that's what young people strive for." |
Tom Dodge
from
"How Small Was My Classroom" |
|
| "A man I knew who
was handicapped spent his life stoically taking care of his big fat
wife, who stayed in bed and whined about her imagined ailments.
When he died, she lost weight and started going dancing on Saturday
nights." |

Grumble Away" |
