Longest day myth and a Floridian sees Texas charm
A mid summer note from a Florida writer reflects on long light days, local lore, and memories of postwar fashion. The piece visits the S house in Santa Rosa Beach, notes vintage paraphernalia like Penguin Coolers and cobalt glass, and mentions Patricia Pate Lewis in Nebraska, her husband Michael’s livestock nutrition PhD pursuit, and Alaska cattle questions. It closes with Texan pride, Texas truck tags, a Houston meal stop, and a robbing incident in Alabama where a motorcycle wouldn’t start.
