I first met John in Beeville , Texas...at the common backyard of the address. I was renting the apartment above the garage, and he was living with his mom and brother in the main house but, also used a tiny room as his bedroom located right by the garage area. He had a dog named Bull.
We really didn't talk for a while, he just gave me an uninterested hand wave from the distance as a "hello". . I have to confess I was curious about him.
First attempt for conversation didn't go well. I had run over Bull's plate (of course accidentally) and wanted to let him know and pay for it but, he was not up to discussed it and shortly closed the door on me . What a jerk I thought.
A week after or so, he went to knock at my door and politely asked me if I had plans for the coming weekend ( now he wanted to make it up for his previous rudeness ,I thought) and I had answer :I had no plans (I was anticipating and invitation to have a cup of coffee, ice cream, movies) but , next thing he said was "oh good, then can you feed my dog cause I'll be out of town for the weekend).
