Now that you put together the picture I screwed up, here's a little
story. This 102 degree weather took place in Fort Stockton Texas, practically the only town
in West Texas. As tumble weeds rolled with the wind, Jay and I roamed the hot desert streets
looking for food. We finally found some at a place called "Subway" and at a little Mexican
restaurant that also served Chinese food and American food at lunch time. By the door of this
little restaurant we stumbled upon a machine that would trade us two quarters for a homie. It
turns out that homies are little plastic action figures that look like Mexican thugs. Since
then, we have spotted these same homies in various locations across the Western United States.
