Cindy, I can't believe you remembered that! You have an amazing memory! Yep, Young County. Dad played football for Graham back in the day. I'm just afraid I wouldn't fit in there in DFW. I had a good friend who moved up to Grapevine right after she got married (to an oilman, wouldn't you know). The next thing I knew, Jane had big hair, was talking Turtle Creek this and TC that, driving a Lexus and calling Neiman Marcus "the store". OMG! Cindy, I can’t believe you remembered that!

Worth------so Texan, and as they used to say "Where the West begins!".  The people are SO friendly and the art museums in Ft. Worth are superior to ANY others in the entire state. Even my aristocratic brother in Dallas says that! Also, you'd be closer to your daddy's home county (Young Co., right?). Wherever you land, I know you'll be happy!

Some will remember seeing these "live"... I do. You can google "Charles Jaco hoax" and find a lot of these. Basically this is 11 minutes, but it shows "takes" of the "live" news reports. Jaco is seeing how to report the news in these... sometimes with sirens, sometimes grabbing a gas mask etc. It just shows how much the network news is actually Kabuki and it has been Kabuki for a long, long time.

It probably has a lot of oil residue on the structure all the time. That doesn't mean it's leaking. Plus, it's only a transfer pipeline platform. There isn't a well.

Building New Orleans right there made good sense back when people trapped and traded fur for a living and paddled the river to get around... but rebuilding right there now made no damn sense at all. As for the crises and the reports of crises... we must live in fear. Al Gore commands it. Some summers may be hot, some winters may be cold. Sometimes it rains more and some years it is more dry than others. The fear mongers would have us believe it's because of CO2. Bullshit. It's called the weather. Get over it.

I told him that's too far north, but the group told him to tell me that they fly the same lone star flag as Houston!
