As you leave Midlands and travel West on 1-20 you see more and more oil wells. And more and more it smells. It cannot be healthy to live in that area where you are contantly taking in the fumes of all that oil. I wonder if anyone ever did a study on the lungs of those people.
It's one thing if the smell of the oil means big dollars for you, but for the waitresses we met and others who are just earning a living there, it has to be tough to get used to. It goes for what seemed like hundreds of miles.
It was a relief to get to the desert of the far west side of Texas. Yes, there is nothing but brush and dirt and dust to look at but at least it doesn't stink.
