Sad Anniversary

The Pail..Friend, team mate, traveling companion..
I know it sounds cliche'd , but he was truly one of a kind..

Paulie decides to ride with Joe and I out to the World Finals at Amarillo in 1974..
Must have been East Texas, and he's getting all worked up about the cactus on the side of the road.He had never seen them.
He's looking out the window of my 64 Pontiac station wagon, at the oil derricks or pumping deals..

"Hey Joe . Those must be cactus pulling machines..Just pluck 'em out of the ground..Bowmp, bowmp, bowmp"

He never quit..
"Hey, remind me to pick up a cactus for my mother on the way home."
Joe says, "Oh that's nice. A little souvenir for your mother?"
Paulie: " No, no. When she tells me to get a job, I'm gonna tell her to sit on it"

RIP, my friend
