<chuckle> The military flew me into Adak one time.. That sucker was covered
with snow and you had to go through a tunnel to get to the mess hall..
I worked on the pipeline for a short time, later.. Then I was foolish enough
to
jump on a motorcycle and ride up there, once..
When they made that sucker a state and Texas became just another one of
the lower's.. it was just too much for me to bear.. Hells, bells.. it takes
too long
to cross Texas, anyway.. There's just not much use in any state being
bigger..
Without prejudice.. I'll declare that when Texas became the second largest..
it was the beginning of the end.. Life as we know it in Texas, will never be
the
same.. I don't want to talk about it.. hmmpfff
