Crapshooters would recite that when hoping to roll double fives? I need to visit Tenaha one of these days.<br /><br />I glad you like the blog. Thanks for your words of encouragement, too! Houston is a great town (except for the rush hours, which are HELL). I lived there for two and a half years. The SFA students from Houston remind us of what it's like to drive there when they come back after the summer and other holidays.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335496287080742001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231278.post-27573994147264782222006-09-18T11:44:00.000-05:002006-09-18T11:44:00.000-05:00I'm assuming you know the old saying about "Tenaha...I'm assuming you know the old saying about "Tenaha (ten ee haw), Timpson, Bobo, and Blaire." The oldtimers speak of it: http://www.texasescapes.com/DEPARTMENTS/Guest_Columnists/East_Texas_all_things_historical/TenahaTimpsonBoboBlairTx1AMD101.htm<br /><br />I love your site. I'm from Nac living in Houston now (opposite of you, huh?). The pics and lore make me nostalgic. Keep it up. I link to you quite a bit.

The whole time I thought it was abandoned.<br /><br />I titled the Kinky Friedman sign over at my photoblog and Flickr page "Waxing: You Do Have a Choice." I can't imagine who is getting waxed in Timpson, or even why.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335496287080742001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231278.post-17724485133885295282006-09-17T11:35:00.000-05:002006-09-17T11:35:00.000-05:00I really like the fourth picture down, with the vi...I really like the fourth picture down, with the vines all overgrown and the seven narrow windows in a row. What's going on in there?<br /><br />I also like the Kinky Friedman sign in the window. You can get waxed and sign the Kinky petition!
