Default How are our friends in Texas making out?

How are you guys down there in the Lone Star state making out with the snow? All O.K. I hope.

The pan handle does that sometimes, not frequently but it happens.

As long as Amarillo is still serving up 72 ounce steaks, I think we will be ok.

I like snow less when it interferes with drill baby drill.

My uncle was stationed in Amarillo back in the 1960's with the Air Force.He told me once that when he was there (sometime in '66 or so) that they used to joke about airmen going AWOL what they said was "if you go AWOL from Amarillo the only thing that will happen is you'll walk for 4 days down the highway and not see another living thing then you will head back to base out of boredom and they wont punish you the walk and boredom are punishment enough".

He had a specialist communications job that was in high demand all over the Air Force and put in papers to go to Vietnam.

Sounds about right still from what I understand the only thing that has is that Amarillo has changed is a slightly larger population in Amarillo than 40 some years ago.

'How are our friends in Texas making out?'

Presumably they cuddle and kiss.

I doubt if we ever saw a daytime high below 40 degrees this winter.
