Cigar Weekly

sprint_67 · 04-01-2004, 07:20 PM

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:

You may guess three times per day but each guess must have it's own post.

Your guesses may not be in back to back posts. Someone must post in between your guesses.

You must have been a member at CW for at least 3 months and have at least 250 posts.

Any posts that are edited are disqualified.

In case of a tie first post according to BB time stamp wins.

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!
