The Terlingua Way | Badlands, Texas

If you move here from another place, don't expect to come out here with 50 bucks in your pocket and a half a dozen 2x4s because you ain't going to make it. When you come out here, you got to remember we got one cop for a very large area. We have no doctors here, no hospital. We do have the Medics; they'll come pick you up if that's what you need, and they'll take you to the nearest town, which is 80 miles from this location. Unless you have got a skill that is really needed, then I would recommend not coming here.

Tommy, yeah? Is Casper coming to work today? You know he ain't called or nothing. Okay, 'cause Steve has got four tires out there to put on. There's an oil change out there too. Whose is that waiting on me? Terlingua Auto Service in Terlingua, Texas. We're the only auto repair place down here. The next closest one is 80 miles from here; that'll be in Alpine, Texas, and they don't do everything like we do.

This place grows on you down here. Tommy is my shop foreman, and he does most of the mechanical work. We do sell tires. You need help, and I got a guy out there named Mike Cper that does the tire work. That's what I'm talking about, Mike. He plays a guitar and plays in the beer joints, and that's what he likes to do. But unfortunately, you can't make a living doing that at his level.

Now, Kenny Rogers and all them, they do real well, but he ain't Kenny Rogers. Mike is an off-the-grid constitutionalist, and a lot of people out here are. A lot of them, we're under martial law right now. They're spreading all over the country; you can see the convoys, they are moving in to position right now. The hostile states are going to be anti-government. I may be one of the first ones they try to pick up because I love the Constitution. I'm not afraid to talk about freedom and liberty, but I will not go quietly into the night. I can guarantee you hostile; we are hostile.

Mike, yeah, it was a little weird, but then again, we live in Terlingua while everything's weird around here.
