texas

Texas An explosion in the engine room and the ship needed urgent repair in Houston ; I rented a car...a Buick I think a big box like monster that skidded on slightest wet surface. Mind I could only drive the car on my afternoon break. Sundays was my day I started early took the whole off as a chief steward I could do that leaving the cook to sort and he was free to drink beer without me scolding him. I stopped at a stud farm rented a horse, pretended I was a cowboy, till got saddle sore, which I never got back at the farm Norway when I rode bare back. A tee bone steak with backed potatoes life was perfect but I left early feared to get lost, Texas is a very dark place after sundown. Back on the ship the captain told me to stay on board on Sundays that he was the captain and not me. I should have invited him on the trip too, but I preferred to be alone.
