Go east until you smell it.
Then go south until you step in it.
Beware of the piles of crap on the sidewalks in the Frisco bay that have >> hidden hypodermic needles hidden within them... Ouch! ;^o

Chris: Ouch! is right. You know how to hurt a guy!
If Texas secedes from the Union (as has been suggested here), I hope they carve out the University in Austin, where I know from personal experience that there are a lot of very fine good and educated people. You can keep Dallas, FW, Amarillo, and
Dime Box!

Dime Box was cast as the capital of the Second Republic of Texas in Howard Waldrop's book Texas-Israeli War: 1999.

Chris, Madame: Mea Culpa, my forgiveness, and whatever else I need to apologize for.
I plead GUILTY for what is probably the most common mistake among the (male) human beings.
I should learn!
A good lesson for me, I would say.
I went to Texas in 1948 for my USAir Force Basic Training in San Antonio. With my mothers' permission, I was 17 at the time. Three or four months later, I was sent off to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, OH where I learned about electronics
and radar. Then, off to Keesler AFB in Biloxi, Mississippi for another year of Radar School.
In June of 1950, the Korean War started and I was sent off to a B-29 Base in Okinawa, where I spent two years living in a tent and bombing the hell out of North Korea.
Four years of the GI Bill got me a degree in Electrical Engineering at Georgia Tech, graduating in 1952. Then, off to Stanford for a Masters in EE. Thence to the Stanford Business School.
Story of my life in a few paragraphs. Now single and retired and living in a high-end retirement community.
You seem like a very nice person. Keep it up, and I promise I will also do the same.
Cheers and best wishes to you and yours,
earle
