[blparent] blparent Digest, Vol 64, Issue 15

[Robert Shelton]

I grew up in Houston, got a 3-speed Schwinn for my 8th birthday in 1957.  I
could see at the time.  There was actually a working oil well at the end of
our street.  I rode all over that part of town.  There was a whole field of
"iron trees" -- oil rigs in the process of drilling, about 5 miles from our
house.  It was one of my favorite places to go -- always something
interesting going on.  There were fields -- cat tails higher than my head --
and little water courses -- probably tributaries of the bayous.  I had the
run of the place.  My parents never worried, and I always made it home when
I got hungry.  Talk about sounding like a geezer.
