...I banged around under the hood of my truck for a good five hours so I had to go test drive it to make sure it was still working...well...let me just say I didn't fix the problem but I have new spark plugs, an ignition coil and spark plug wires...i know i know...it was so fucking butch and sexy i couldn't stand mydamnself afterwards...anyway, on my test drive I decided to go through "downtown" Rockmart...
let me preface this by saying I live in the "city" of Rockmart on the edge of "downtown"...this town isn't bigger than a wad of God's spit but I like it...small, quiet, and brimming with fantastic country characters for these little snippets of life in Rockmart....the ethnic diversity is pretty awesome...however, there aren't big cultural events for us diverse peeps...i'll go into descriptions of Rockmart in a later section...
...ok...back to driving through "downtown"...across the railroad tracks, we have tennis courts and a mini skatepark...usually the courts are empty...however, today I got to see a first in my lifetime...something I had to share because I'm sure it only happens in small towns...there are two courts and I'm not sure how many people were on them...I just noticed one at the time...a male...swinging wildly at a ball...but that's not what caught my attention...it was his attire...not typically what one would wear to play tennis...I know the build up may let you down but it's fantastic if you can picture it...the gentleman was wearing denim Liberty overalls with a plaid long sleeve button up and possibly some sneakers that have seen better days...I stared in amusement the whole 30 seconds it took for me to drive by...there were numerous giggles from me...as i started to pass the courts I looked to the other side of the net at his playing partner...then a big "awwww" escaped me...I'm sure it was his daughter maybe 10-12ish...dressed appropriately for tennis...smacking the ball easily while her overall clad pops struggled...a sweet moment I'm sure she'll always remember as "the time when daddy took me to play tennis in his overalls"...a little quality father-daughter time and entertainment for me...love small town country life....
