Me being new here, you guys don't know that I work for an oil company in Texas as an oil and gas well production tech. It's great work, the pay is good and we are out in the wilderness all the time. The down side is we are alone all day in the middle of nowhere, so we have to be really careful not to get hurt or stuck somewhere that we can't even get phone service. Through the years we have found drug labs, burned out cars, stolen boats, and have equipment stolen from our well locations all the time.

Today we found a guy that had committed suicide at one of our secluded oil well locations. Turns out he had shot and killed his wife this morning and been on the run from LE all day; sure glad we didn't have anyone on that location when he pulled up.

Three months ago we found a young woman that had been beat to death at one of our wells. They finally solved that murder and two guys are behind bars awaiting trial.

Just two more reasons I always have a .40 cal strapped on my side; and some just think I'm paranoid.
