Nothing good happens after midnight?
Nothing good happens after midnight. I think most game wardens would disagree with that statement, because if you’re the kind of person that likes catching people doing that which they ought not do, lots of good things happen after midnight.
Retired Atascosa County Game Warden Arthur Mc-Call is a classic case in point. I’ve known Arthur over 50 years. My grandfather, “Pap”, had a mercantile in Pleasanton for many years that was Walmart before there was a Walmart. In his store, Pap carried guns and knives and groceries, fishing tackle, appliances, livestock feed, saddles, stereos and records, and I don’t know what all. There was a “coke machine” just to the right of the door when you walked in. When I was a kid, I got the biggest kick out of not having to put a quarter in the slot of that machine to get me and ice-cold coke, because Pap always gave me the key. Of course, there were other options in there, - like Big Red and RC, and maybe even 7-Up – but back then, we called all of them “cokes”.
