White pickups

Driving from Carlsbad to Austin TX cuts through the West Texas oil fields. Oil derricks and geysers of flame dot the horizon for endless miles. Seemed like the only vehicles on Hwy 285 to Ft Stockton were tanker trucks and white pickups. Always white. Why are they always white?

And the only resource more abundant than oil and white pickups seem to be ambulance chasers. Ads for personal injury lawyers everywhere!

Oil. Church. Football. Pickups. Guns. Ambulance Chasers.





Reminds me of this tune by John Cougar Mellencamp (If that is really his middle name, it's awesome).

  3. I'd have to say "Better Call Saul" fits this situation (I can imagine how the billboard would look with the backdrop of oil derricks)
