Moe wasn’t mean; he was frustrated.

 

I always wanted to check out Forney, Texas.
One day I was in Sunnyvale, Texas looking at granite but ran out of time to drive over to Forney.
Forney always seemed to have so much open land to build on. Maybe someday I will get there.

Today those trucks would be filled with toilet paper !

 

Jimbo, I grew up in Sunnyvale, parents born and grew up in Forney area. Recently Forney has exploded with development and much of the open land is now streets and houses and traffic jams.Thats why I am in the process of moving to east Texas!
