Palmetto bugs... Driving across the Florida panhandle my eyes were getting 
ready to fall out of my head when I came to a motel in the middle of 
nowhere. When I went to the room and turned on the lights it wasn't a 
chocolate bonbon on the bed, but the cockroach from hell. I kicked him off 
and went to bed. 

I went to Texas one year on vacation around the 4th of July, out to San 
Antonio, down to Laredo, through Houston and out to Galveston to see what 
Gelnn Campbell had been singing about. I took the Bolivar ferry out to the 
peninsula and headed east. I felt sorry for the miles and miles of people 
baking in the sun waiting to take the ferry west. I don't know if they'd 
been better off turning around and driving home.
