I was at the Boathouse in Terlingua two nights ago talking to one of the locals when he pointed out a woman across the bar and said "That is my ex-wife. She cheated on me with my cocaine dealer --- and I used to drink with my cocaine dealer's daddy when my cocaine dealer was in diapers in the back seat."

You've got to love West Texas.

A friend is currently with his mountain biking group out in the Big Bend/Terlingua area. Maybe you’ve seen them.

Anyway, he posted these pics yesterday- the sign was on a Terlingua restroom wall.

The opposite. Worst job in the US? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/dec/02/us-national-parks-toilets-human-waste

I'll threadjack by bringing up Lajitas.

About 20 years ago, my then elementary-aged son and I took my jeep for some off-roading in some of the remote places in Big Bend. We found tarantulas, rattlesnakes, and got really dusty.

Around 8pm, we ended up at the French restaurant that was at a resort in Lajitas. The white-jacketed maitre d insisted we (and our money) were welcome, no matter how shabby our attire.

We feasted on rabbit ravioli and escargot, and a multitude of small plates of exotic dishes.

Contrasts.

A few years ago I was talking to the owner of La Cava and we started talking about BBQ. He took me in the back and showed me the pits, although I think at that time they hadn't started actually serving yet. Anyway, I showed him pictures of the pit I built, and my moonshine still, and blah blah blah. Out of nowhere he blurted out " I've grown human tissue in my basement!".

Okaaaaayyy look at the time yeah

Sooooooo..... How did it taste?

The male/female ration in Terlingua is probably something like 65-35 male, on account of all the river guides and because men are the only ones stupid enough to try to live here. Anyway, one of the guides here said "You don't break up with your girlfriend here in Terlingua, you just lose your place in line."

Ouch.
