Middle of nowhere Huge truck stops not rest areas but " picnic areas" on the highways El Paso is closer to Los Angeles than it is to Houston Using DFW as a transit point to get somewhere more interesting.
Sitting in Dallas airport now, not a fan. Plane has a computer issue but good news is we will be taking off soon heading out of tejas.
When I was at UF, I played basketball on Saturdays with a guy who was in the army National Guard or reserve. I happen to mention to that I had a summer job coming up in Port Arthur, Texas, the very southeast corner of the state. This guy said he was going to do his summer two-weeks duty in El Paso, and that we should get together on the weekend between the weeks. He was stunned when I told him that Port Arthur, Texas was halfway between Gainesville and El Paso!
@gatordavisl - North Texas is 5-0 and hosts #24 USF (4-1) tomorrow night at 7:30pm (ESPN2). Mean Green is favored by 1.5 points. Should be a really good game. Good Luck!
