the big coinsidence

in the early 70s funny and i drove from veron bc canada to acapolco mexico.
on our way home we stopped at a bar in gainesville texas. had a couple of drinks but not much happened.
in 1981 i was called in canada to do the brickhorsehead job in gainesvile texas.
at that time i had forgotton about ever being in gainesville.
in the late 90s, funny called me from canada, just to see how i was doing. she had found my number and she remembered the bar we had stopped at in the 70s. after she mentioned it to me, i also , remember stopping at that bar on our way home from mexico,  at the time she called i just happened to be friends with the man whom had owned that bar in the 70s and still owned it at the time of the call.
jimmy has since sold the property and the bar was replaced with retail stores.
i had spent a lot of time in that bar, it was one of the first places i drank when i came to build the horsehead.
i was there with god and family one night, we were haveing dinner and shrimp was on the menue,
nancy ordered a big plate of shimp. i had never tasted shimp before. i found it quite tasty and after i had eaten quite a few, nancy asked , hows the shrimp, i replied. they are good but a little crunchy.
nancy laughed and laughed , then told me i was suposed to remove the shell before eating shrimp. lol
i laughed also.   man , i hate that negative attention
