Ed, have you ever eaten at Dick's Last Resort in Dallas? I was there a number of times when the Shot Show was held there. It could very well be gone now.

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.

It is the same when you are stupid.

Son of ED.......It's in Midland, TX.

I ran an oilfield dozer in Midland, Tx.  Also ran The Place, The Other Place, and Another Place...

And the owner and I would be in concert, because I really don't care what he thinks, either... except that he has a flawed and hypocritical outlook...

Flawed in your world maybe, not mine, nor more importantly, his.  He does very well without your help, or mine.  

When were you in Midland?

Ed, how is your friend whose house was cratered by the SUV? You didn't say. I hope he and his family is o.k.

I've seen signs much like the one above that said something like "we refuse service to anyone whose pants are drooping below their ass." I can appreciate that. Every time I see some punk wearing their pants that way, I have to bite my tongue to keep from telling them how effin' stupid they look.

I just go ahead and tell them... mostly I just laugh at them...

JG, I drove a truck with an "odd" looking object through there a couple of years ago.  Likewise, if you are ever in the HSV area, let me know.

Let's see....

...I never ate Dick's Last Resort.....

...I got lost in Midland once for two hours ( going the wrong way 'round the loop thinking I was going the opposite direction....Bucky )

...I once got my leg caught underneath the fender of a D9 caterpillar while it was moving, and the motion of the tread was pulling on my leg and I couldn't pull it out....and the operator couldn't hear me yelling over the exhaust!!  Big Grin

...Kickboxer is an 'odd object'.....

Union Pacific Depot in Dalhart [ former Rock Island Line depot ]  







UP Challenger steams through Dalhart.  I have never seen this locomotive. 










Depot in Tucumcari, New Mexico.  The first trip I ever took as a brakeman was down here.

That first trip to Tucumcari was in February and it was colder than hell and lots of snow.
