Teaser Tuesdays hosted by Miz B at Should be Reading. This is my teaser for this week. It is from "Duane's Depressed" by Larry McMurtry, page 101.
By the time she drove the half mile to the Dairy Queen there were already six pickups parked in front of it. A cluster of oilmen, wanting to postpone their day's work as long as possible, sat at the long table in the rear of the room. Karla rarely hit the Dairy Queen that early -- when she swept in, in her bathrobe, several of the oilmen looked at her askance. :What's the matter, J.T., never seen a woman in a bathrobe?" she asked one who was pouring himself a cup of coffee.
Gotta love McMurtry, gotta love Dairy Queen -- ah, Texas has a culture all its own and it is alive and well in this book.
