I still don't believe that you actually visited Texas....



Never said I did....
Got out to California...did the one week tour from San Diego to San
Francisco...even dipped into Mexico but no Texas.






There are a couple of decent places to visit in Texas. Just bring a gas
mask.

[SNIP] from: http://www.marylandlung.org/air/air.htm

"The Baltimore/Washington region remains high on the list of the most
ozone-polluted areas in the nation. In a recent study of 120 metropolitan
areas, Baltimore/Washington ranked 7th for poor air quality."

"Although the U.S. has made great strides in cleaning up smog and soot,
outdoor air pollution continues to threaten more than 3.7 million Marylanders.
Many areas of the state continue to exceed federal standards for
ground-level ozone"

Sorry you old senile fart but it looks like one would do well to bring those
gas masks on their visits to Maryland as well....
