H-Town's pollution has its perks. Saturday night, the chemicals in the air created a psychedelic sunset that entertained me as I ventured way the hell out west to Jumps Bar and Grill (13180 Westpark Drive #301, 281-870-8463). This good ole neighborhood bar had a spacious deck, several pool tables, a few customers and three bartenders. Tee, good-will ambassador and day bartender, was getting her drink on; Margie, the kind of gal you want on your side in a brawl, looked tired and cranky as she slid a beer in front of me. The boyishly charming Maury wanted to make me the perfect shot to complement the psychedelic sunset: a Radioactive Rainbow. This almost too-sweet shot took much longer to make than to drink, and as they started setting up for karaoke, I started wishing for a yellow brick road. Even though I do a mean rendition of Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walking," there just weren't enough chemicals in me. I headed east looking for a hazy star to lead me home.
