Texas is different

At 5:00am this morning our new boss, fresh from Texas, stopped by the yard on his way to the well we are fraccing.  While waiting for mechanics to arrive to fix his broken headlight, he and I start talking about stuff. 

A few topics that were broached: the incompetence of PA's governor, the incompetence of our President, his former chief of staff (who now has no place to live), and the vice president, and the ridiculousness of state and local income taxes (which he argues are the result of corrupt unions bargaining with equally corrupt Democratic politicians).

I like this guy.

  1. So, do you still like him, or is the bloom off that rose?

  2. Hard to say. He's a tough nut to crack. On the one hand, he's kind of down to earth, but he's very stubborn.

    He was presented a choice to take a manager job (make 4 times what he's making now) in a different district in a few months, but he is going to turn it down because its not fair to this district. On the otherhand, he won't admit it when he's wrong.
