So I got my first car, nothing flashy, just a little Chevy Cavalier, it's got 4 wheels and and a/c so I'm happy, so now that it's all mine I get to customize it, make it my own. I set my favorite stations on the radio presets, the old country station is #1 yeah bite me if you don't like it, I set the bass and treble and all that to my perfect levels (it has a pretty snazzy stereo system) and I've ordered my Flying spaghetti monster "fish" emblem, but what I really want is an old cowboy hat.
After my grandfather died my grandmother put an old cowboy hat in the back window of her car. Partly because she was afraid of a string of robberies where old widowed women were being followed and attacked and robbed, but I think it was partly to keep my grandfather's memory alive.
I'm greatly influenced by my grandfather, I may have barely known him, but from my childhood on I'm constantly greeted with "You're just like Papaw" small mannerisms such as my voracious appetite for reading, my interest obsession with politics, my stubbornness, my love for fine dressing, and my personality all resemble his.
So I want an old cowboy hat, preferably one of his, to place in the back window of my car, as a tribute to a man I never knew, but that I know better than anyone else. |
