Now you know what they were talking about in that old Country song where they sing 'I saw miles and miles of Texas....'

The odd mechanical things at the Petro Mu in Midland were interesting to even my wife. The old Pumpjacks there are a good example of the lengths people will go to in order to get oil out of the ground.

By the way, I have worked in fields where sucker-rod pumpjacks were still in use. It is very eerie at night to hear all of that creaking and groaning going on. People who live near them don't mind though as it is the sound of money going into their pockets.

I am glad you had a good time. Next time.... Austin!
