Here's the last of my pump jack pictures from our trip to El Jefe's hometown of Borger, Texas.
Fittingly, this is the patriotic-themed pump jack in Huber Park. There is a lot of support for the military in Borger, as there is in most of the state. A few years ago the town erected a tribute to those who had served in the armed services. El Jefe's father (WWII) and his cousins (Viet Nam) are among those honored on that monument.

I see Borger has indulged in the time honored West Texas municipal landscaping scheme. "Stick some wook in the ground around it and that'll make it real special!"
Look familiar!

Is the tribute on the pump jack?
That is so cool that El Jefe's family is honored that way.
I live in Texas and never knew about these wonderfully painted pump jacks. Thanks!
