Her name was Alice and we were pen pals for a whole year afterwards -- until she finally stopped writing (sniff). I just love the name 'Amarillo.'

It is called The Big Texan Steak Ranch.<BR/><BR/>Lyndi - The alter-ego threw me at first. And Yes we have many wind farms with more going up all the time. Right now the problem is that the infrastructure in our area can ony handle so much so much f the power generates is wasted.<BR/><BR/>Patti -- I freak out lots of people.<BR/><BR/>Charles -- We really need to get you to come be a speaker at our conference and then I could be your tour guide.<BR/><BR/>Debra- Yeah unfortunately my ass is always larger that expected.<BR/><BR/>Reid - There is actually an old song called Ding Dong Daddy From Dumas. You should learn to play and sing that one.<BR/><BR/>Barbara - Join on in. We'd love to have you and I plan a future MTM post about the American Quarterhorse association and their museum.<BR/><BR/>Josephine - I was hoping to be done today but I'll say by week's end for certain. I'm trying not to get impatient and hurry through.<BR/><BR/>Terrie -- I almost did a memorial day themed post about a local cemetery but I was too lazy to do the research this week.<BR/><BR/>Barrie -- I live on a little creek so it doens't get any enarer than that. I catch mostly Crappie, which are quite tasty to eat, Largemouth Bass, and Catfish though there are also lots of sunfish, carp, and hybrid-stripers that run up the creek from an adjoining lake and once someone caught a tropical fish that is closely related to a piranha. I can't remember it's actual name but the fish and game people guessed it was somebodies pet they tired of and released into the creek.Travis Erwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09420879160702098979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174721864572618040.post-85558872766571704902008-05-26T03:27:00.000-05:002008-05-26T03:27:00.000-05:00Happy Memorial Day, Travis!Enjoyed the 3x Amarillo...Happy Memorial Day, Travis!<BR/><BR/>Enjoyed the 3x Amarillo post.

It almost makes up for you (and everyone else) crushing me in fantasy football this year.<BR/><BR/>I've tried to join in on the MTM ideas, but as usual I've never actually finished it.
