This has taken so long to get out because our Bill Gates machine fritzed on us and any computing we wanted to do we did in town at the computer center. Unfortunately we haven't been able to add any more pictures, such as the 4 ft barracuda Nancy caught deep sea fishing!!! but don't worry, once we get home in about 10 days we will be busy updating the blog with all kinds of things,like the huge derrick drilling structure that went by today. And for those of you interested we will tell you about all our mishaps, and there were a lot!! For now enjoy!!
.As many of you know we headed once again down to Texas for a month. We stayed at 3 different hotels on the way down, and just look at the great stuff you can accumulate, besides the stuff we either used or ate!!!


Just outside of Waco on I 35 we came to a complete standstill in traffic. We knew something really bad must have happened when we saw 2 tow truck for large rigs go by ambulances, cop cars, and the coroner wagon go by. There were 2 helicopters hovering overhead.All traffic was very slowly being diverted up a exit ramp across the freeway, down a service road, and finally back across the freeway & down the ramp.As we were passing the accident we saw a Target semi jackknifed up the side of a hill totally turned the wrong way on the freeway. There was a medi-vac helicopter parked on the road, just past the whole area.








Pelican brunch,gathered when we had our brunch. They are so cute!!

This is our pet pelican Bruce.We try to feed him when we can.

One of the many things that pass by our viewing windows.



Okay for those of you waiting to see some fish pictures here is just a small peek. Nancy caught 2 bonnet heads (shark) about 30 in. in length, and let them go.

As we're half way through the 5th year of a war with a country & an ideaogly(can you win a war against a belief?), I found this to post...

A Colonel in the Saudi Arabian Army once told an American officer, "We can be friendly, but we will never be friends. "Can a devout Muslim be an American patriot and a loyal citizen?
THEOLOGICALLY: No. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of Arabia.
GEOGRAPHICALLY: No. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, which he turns in prayers five times a day.
SOCIALLY: No. Because his allegiance to Islam demands that he make no friends of Christians and Jews. (Q.5:51)
POLITICALLY: No. Because he must submit to the mullah, who teaches annihilation of Israel and the destruction of America, the great Satan.
DOMESTICALLY: No. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him. (Q.4:34)
RELIGIOUSLY: No. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam-Intolerance. (Q.2:256)
INTELLECTUALLY: No. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is established on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
PHILOSOPHICALLY: No. Because Islam, Mohammad and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is dictatorial except Turkey.
ALLEGIANCE AS A CITIZEN:No. Because when we declare "one nation under God", the Christian's God is a triune God while the Muslim's is one entity called"Allah", who is never a heavenly father, nor is he ever called "Love" in the 99 excellent names.
