Wayne,



re: "ice house" in your last message. I had forgotten about them! I was at

Randolph for four years and had a friend who lived in San Antonio. She took me

to these places where you could buy cold drinks (including beer). People often

sat in their cars in the parking lot greeting friends and listening to the

music that blared from the loud speaker. Is that the kind of ice house you

mean?

Yes and no. I was too young to go to the real ice house where men drank

beer and played dominoes and where curb service was supplied. We went to

something that looked for all intents and purposes like a convenience

store. But just like Beavis and Butthead (who seem to be modeled on me and

my friends) we hung around what we called the ice house, looking for

trouble and often finding it.



I saw a nice article a couple of years ago in a San Antonio newspaper about

famous neighborhood ice houses. They looked like throwbacks to an earlier,

more idyllic time.
