As a kid I thought calling something the
‘panhandle’ of a state was funny.
Of course, Oklahoma looked a bit like a pot
with a handle, but Florida didn’t fit that image, and neither did Texas. Adults
had odd ways of naming things, and this was one of their idiosyncrasies. Dave
and I have driven through the Texas Panhandle lots of times, but we’ve never
stopped in Parmer County and in particular Farwell. We can’t say that now.
