People Watching

I was in a bar the other night and got to partake in two of my favorite past times. The first being cold beer and the second is people watching.

This particular bar I had never been in before. It is in a rural community and it was a slow night, but this bar had everybody. There was the preppy guy in khaki shorts, ankle socks and a backward hat. There was the guy that thought he was a pool player, right down to duct tape on his hand. I'm assuming the duct tape he thought would allow the cue to slide better, but I'm not sure. There was wanna be a farmer guy with long sleeve insulated shirt, t shirt over that, boots that hadn't seen mud and a John Deere trucker hat. There was even an appearance by Miss I Need attention. I'm sure you've seen her, about 22, jeans and tshirt complete with push up bra that was 2 sizes too small to really push them up and 6 inch hooker heels.

My favorite guy of the night though had to be "Tex". He came walking in like he owned the place. Was carrying his 2 piece pool cue (apparently couldn't afford the case to go with it). He walked in and put his quarters on the table before he even ordered a beer. He had the look down, boots, Wrangler jeans, black belt with the shiny adornments on it, button up long sleeve shirt, white cowboy hat and the fu man chu 'stache. I didn't look but it wouldn't surprise me to find a horse at the hitchin post outside. To the guys credit he seemed like a nice guy and he did play a decent game of pool, but he looked WAY out of place in rural Indiana.

This bar had it all. Even the guy sitting by himself at the end of the bar because he didn't want to go home to his wife. All in all it was a very enjoyable evening spent with good people and I can't wait to go back when the bar is busy.
