April 9th is a day worth celebrating in your family’s house. Until 1972 Lubbock was the largest dry county in Texas, forbidding sales of individual drinks in some areas and packaged liquor in others. Finally an election in 1972 made the booze flow like water and your parents celebrate annually. You father takes his low rate Lubbock credit card, drives to “The Strip” and picks up enough spirits to fill the cups of the entire block.
Prior to hitting the bottle, he is smart enough to hit the local grocery store and pharmacy with the low rate Lubbock credit card to stock the cabinets with plenty food, coffee and aspirin. What a way to celebrate in style.
