Movie Making

In September I was contacted by a movie-making firm, asking if they could park their star trailers and canteen on some property I own in the Pecos.  Since I had been forewarned, I was able to do some homework so that when they gave me a "low-ball" offer I was able to counter with a more reasonable one.  That worked well!

They had set up their tents and put all of the star trailers on the land by the time we arrived.  We were invited for lunch, and what a lunch we had!  Besides the best pork chop ever, garibaldi fish, chicken, and beef, they had a large table of salads, another of drinks (including a large jug of almond milk), desserts by the case, and appetizers.  Actors eat well!

Don thinks he needs this for our tailgates!

As suddenly as they appeared, they pulled out . . . only to need to return.  They came back with an abbreviated crew, and once again, we went to lunch with them.  While there, the actor Jeff Daniels walked in.  We did not speak to him, but it was fun seeing him fairly close up.

The name of the series is "Godless," and it will be on Netflix sometime next year.  About a cowardly sheriff who arrives to help a town filled with women, I was told it was about a "bunch of women who can kick a**."  Sounds like it could be a fun western to watch!
