  • A cowboy sings a tragic song about kissing his girl, Fellina goodbye at the back door of a restaurant.

    We are in the town the song was named for.

    This town was recently in the news because it was the recipient of casual damage resulting from a current issue to do with rampant criminal activity based in a different country.

    Name the town, the artist who made the song popular and, for extra credit, the restaurant where the cowboy said goodbye.

    Cheers!

  • Could it be El Paso, by marty Robbins - and Rosa's Cantina.

    My parents were big into Country music - i have all sorts of weird lyrics in my head!

  • I thought that would be an easy one…but that song sure does bring back some memories....

  • You got here first Scott - you gave us more clues this time AJs Human, even I got it!!

    Hope the new job is ok for AJ and you!

  • Ackkkk! Now I can't get that song out of my head. I can even see a picture of Marty Robbins' face!

    LOL!!!

    New job seems to be going well. So far, I've gotten everything I've asked for including model and color of the truck. We have a copper colored International Prostar. Yes, the same company known for farm equipment. I'll post pictures when I take them and my 'puter is up. I'm posting from my phone right now. :)

  • So, I guess I couldn't have seen you in my recent trip throught the city of flying pigs (for those unaware, there is one). Two hours of stop and go southbound, trying to get to the airport. I was in the backseat and looked at every truck on the off chance there might be an AJ sighting. Obviously, no luck, as you were a few time zones away :) Had I seen AJ, I might have jumped out of the car I was in and jumped into your truck for a couple of miles…just to say 'Hi'...that's how slow going it was. My advise, for north or southbound, take the by-pass...but what do I know? There were plenty of trucks willing to wade through the traffic.

    While I-70 and I-75 seem to be the major cross-roads in my neck of the woods, I rarely get up that way. However, if you ever find yourself on I-675, I could wave to you from the bridge near my house:) "Shiny Hiney" …LOL..I'll remember that.:)

    I don't know of any Rita Jean. Mine was born Christmas Day which makes it easy to remember.

    I love Chicago…most truckers think I'm a kook for having that opinion, but I've been known to go 75 miles out of my way just to sit in Chicago traffic. :D There's a certain energy in Chicago I can't find anywhere else in the world. And yes, that says a lot...I've been in major cities from Tokyo to Prague (Praha) to Munich to Seoul as well as amost every major city in the US. There's just something about Chicago.

    @Basenjimamma: …Oh, I want one of those generators too..they are just so darn expensive..We need them down here too, if we have a storm, our neighborhood of 25 or so homes are one of the last on the list to get our power back..it sucks.. We do have a generator that is large enough to either run the fridge and a few lamps, OR our waterpump..so you have to pick your battles when the electricity goes.. Yeah, see my problem is I want the whole house automatically on when the power goes out - gone are the days when I find it an adventure! As it is, I've compromised and were only doing the first floor (including all kitchen, laundry, office, bedrooms, bath, basement - furnace, well/water) and the only thing on the 2nd floor will be the bathroom. During the ice storm last winter we lost power for 4 days. During the ice storm of 98 (?) we lost power for 17days - CNN was filming right in front of our house. :eek:
