There’s no such thing as “Texas,” as a single entity. What are you referring to? Houston or Amarillo? El Paso or Longview? Texas. Fond memories of Witchita Falls. 😄

Passed by Wichita Falls in 1996 while driving from San Antonio to Taos NM. I recall some tall buildings rising from the plain.

Hotter than Hades again today. Every summer in Texas seems like the end of the world. Texas IS the end of the world. One more step and over one goes into the abyss... LOL! Seriously. East Texas is a hot place. Pretty and pleasant if one can handle the heat and humidity. I can for a week or so.

40 year marriage anniversary celebrated, albeit low key today… drove the wife to the mall and did some indoor hiking and enjoyed a sumptuous feast at an incredible seafood restaurant. Chilean sea bass for her, Scallops over an incredible pasta dish for me, followed by beignets…. Different than sopapilla, but in the same family. I give the edge to sopapillas though…I am part beaner though, so there is that. I have a wonderful wife that has put up with all of my nonsense, and she is one hell of a mother and grandmother. Truly blessed.

There's a pulsar moving in our general direction that weighs 13,170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds, moving at 1.3 million mph. Anyone have a ballistic calculator that can figure out the kinetic energy?
