And what's up with that? Mid March is usually perfect in Houston. This is just gross. Half the students here at work today are in shorts, t-shirts, and flip flops.

ssulivan needs to post about defecating in the barf bag to really derail that thread.

I was thinking the same thing.

You know, the 10 year anniversary of that flight is coming up next year. Maybe I should schedule a Beech 1900 run out of DEN on Great Lakes to mark the occasion.

Being subjected to sunsets like these every night is torture:

Or these, they're the worst:

:p

Sunsets are nice, but you're missing the pictures of those days when it hasn't rained in 3 months, the wind starts blowing, the sky turns brown, the streetlights come on in the middle of the day, and Lubbock is enveloped in a cloud of dirt.

Be sure to eat plenty of dried apricots about 4-6 hours before boarding. :-:

I love the mountain areas of West Texas. I really miss working out there. Maybe it's time to start prodding Sul Ross to get me back to Alpine for work. Either that, or the other half and I need to plan a trip out there for fun.

Not a tree to spoil the view, either. :-:

West Texas and the Panhandle kind of blend together and I love 'em both.

Unfortunately there's the Permian Basin and Trans-Pecos in between the nice parts. Talk about a wasteland. There's nothing there that's even remotely pretty.

That only happens once, maybe twice a year.

The pluses are that they have actual seasons, there's no humidity, and life just seems a little less stressful.

I'd prefer to live more in the mountainous regions out there, but there are not a lot of communities that appeal to me (besides Alpine).

Assuming that you are in GA...growing up in that general vicinity, I remember when Alpharetta was the sticks and full of complete rednecks. I don't think anyone really envisioned what that city (or those to its north) has become today.

Indeed, as I am sitting in a Panera at the moment, enjoying a lemonade and free wifi.

There are a lot of things shocking about that statement.

The fact that you're not drinking sweet-tea is probably the most glaring...
