Blasterz had a lovely afternoon in Adrian TX, visiting with Fran and her big buddy Brodie the Yellow Lab. We signed Gus, the red truck, on the bottom of the driver's side windshield.
Fran formerly owned the Midpoint Cafe next door, which was famous for its "ugly-crust" pies. When the Pixar boys rolled though town researching Route 66 for a little flick they thought they might make about cars, they enjoyed her so much they modeled the character of Flo, of Flo's V-8 Diner, on her.
Fran sold the Midpoint Diner, but the ambiance is still there. Blasterz stopped in and shopped a little before heading down the road.
