Sounds like another 787 delay (2-3 months) is going to be announced tomorrow.

This can be seen a few miles down US 90 from the fake Prada store (which is actually much closer to Valentine than it is to Marfa).

Looking through the menu I see this:

Bife a Portuguesa
Steak Topped with Ham & Egg on a Bed
of Traditional Gravy & Hand Cut Chips

Sounds like a NASA breakfast before a launch.

It sure is. Going up Sugar Loaf, you stop at every corner to take pictures, thinking "wow this is the spot" and after every corner the views just get better and better.

It is also an excellent place to watch the planes land at Santos Dumond, even though they are mostly TAM birds.

I took these with a 10x optical zoom, but watching them feels like they are flying right at you before the final turn and approach to the airport.

Why did I think of a Portuguese Astronaut? Bad club music for 100 Alex.
