Half the adult population in this tiny town is said to be “non-voting”. Lots of old–but extremely fast–boats.
No pretense, not much Internet (a good thing), but no real problems, either. No money (bad thing)–but so what, Mister? People here could very well have it all. Home of the buzzard lope, Goodland is a living caricature of working people with too much personality, powerful appetites, and Flowers on Mama’s Grave back in the Ozarks.
I feel like I know these people; in my case, Scots-Irish DNA is hard to beat down with just an education. However, three years ago, Holden Oliver, one of our writers, and then a snooty New England-bred law student at Stanford, refused to finish his dinner at one of the local bars here. It wasn’t the food. The Mayflower crowd could never grock Goodland.
Buzzard Lope people
Anyway, about 300 souls. Half the adult population in this tiny town is said to be “non-voting” due to drug transport-related convictions. Lots of old–but extremely fast–boats. Trial lawyers like NYC’s Scott Greenfield get the picture. If Scott mails me some of his cards, I will pass them out at Stan’s or The Little Bar.
