CONTEST: For fresh roasted coffee and cigars...Winner Guv!
Welcome to my first contest:
The Prize: Your choice of two of the following fresh roasted coffees: 100% Bolivian Organic Tanzanian Ruvuma Peaberry Columbian Supremo Bucaramanga Mocha-Java 50-50 Blend There will also be a few of my favorite cigars included. Rules:
OK now here is a little background. I have lived in Abilene for the last 19 years. I have lived in 2 other towns in my life: The town that I was born in and the town that my dad was transferred to when I was 4 years old. My dad worked for Dowell when he was transferred. So the first person to name the following gets the prize. 1. What town was I born in? 2. What town did we move to when my dad was transferred in 1980? **HINTS** - Both are in Texas - For those who don't know Dowell was an oil field company - Town one is in the Metroplex - Town one is home of the stadium of "America's Team" - Town two is within a 100 mile radius of Big Spring, Tx - Town two is located in an adjoining county to Ector County - Town two is also the county seat of it's respective county. Good Luck and Happy Guessing!
