Tooling around Tulia
(Sorry about the lack of links in the posts today. I was blogging from my BlackBerry all day and links are a pain in the ass on that thing. I'll try to get things corrected today.)
From Lubbock we drove up 27 at just under light speed. I drive fast, Hank drives like a bat out of hell. That's been set on fire. We stopped for a brief meeting in Plainview to visit supporters there, then on to a meeting in Tulia where someone showed us a clipping from the Amarillo paper that brought a smile to our faces. Here's an except...
So names would be it. For Agriculture Commissioner. I'm sorry, but Todd Staples sounded like some rich frat boy. How could I not vote for his opponent, Hank Gilbert? Probably would keep a spittoon on his desk.A guy named Hank Gilbert was born to be ag commissioner. First thing I thought of was Hank Kimball, the county extension agent in "Green Acres'' and how well he did his job in and around Hooterville.
No one would vote for a Hank Gilbert for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, but for ag commissioner, cha-ching.
Damn skippy, Mr. Beilue. Even Hank's name is perfect for Agriculture Commisioner. The meeting went extremely well and despite all the negative press Tulia has received, there are some great folks there who are suprisingly turning up Democratic!
Honestly, I'm not a road trips kind of guy, but this has been fun. Hank and Katy are blast on the road.
