Good Morning :)



I'm looking for a white envelope that is no where to be found. Suggestions of where to look?
The mailbox.

Hey, I saw that the Ballunar Liftoff is coming up.

Yup! Are you gonna brave the heat?

You know I'll be there!



And I know the envelope isn't in the mailbox. It is hiding somewhere in my house or garage. grrrrrrr

The Texans play the Cowboys on Saturday Night the 25th, so I would probably only be able to go on the 26th.

You will have to get up awful early but I think it would be worth it. Double if you get to see me actually work hard and break a sweat!

I can tell you some great breakfast places... but you probably know them already since you used to live down there.

I was reading on that photo forum site and they kept talking about going at night to take pictures of the glow.

Which would be better. If I go in the evening I could possibly even make it on that Friday night. Saturday, I could possibly go down there in the morning before I have to head back for Saturday night's game. Sunday I would have the whole day available.

Did you notice my question has gone unanswered? *wonder who's had a name change*

Sunday, it is just morning... so, there is no big gain for you regarding that date. I think the schedule shows some stuff happening in the evening but it is minimal.

Either morning, you should be there 6:30-6:45ish to find your spot (sun behind you is best, of course) and get settled. Everything is generally over by 8:30 in the morning. It is rare that it stretches beyond that.

What time is your game on Saturday? The biggest problem with Saturday evening is everyone tries to leave at the same time! lol Traffic can be a beast if you are in a hurry. In years past, they have offered a shuttle service from the mall. That would likely be your fastest option. There are some flying events in the early evening on Fri & Sat, but the glow doesn't happen till sunset which is 8:15ish. The best glow photos are generally after it is dark.

It sounds to me that Friday night would be your easiest option for glows. Also, fewer people come down Friday night than Saturday. You will have less traffic.

If you want a "weather briefing" in advance, you can call my cell. I'll have periods of frantically busy to time when I can chat.

Perfect, thanks for the info, IWC.

Hi Houstonians - how's everyone in my soon to be new home?
It's very hot right now. I would suggest you keep a summer home also to get away from this heat.

Hmmm.. Don't let charmed here that suggestion, she'll be hankering for a home here :rolleyes:
 
We should all road trip to visit our Canadian friends.


Do we have any friends in Antartica?



TFG - Don't you dare change that quote to "Do I have any friends?" I'm already thinking how your evil mind works!

Do they allow Mexicans to cross the border into Canada? Or will you smuggle me in with your shoes?


I would never change your quotes.

I often change your quotes.


I don't think it is a problem to get you over the border. The question is... will we be able to get you back into the US! If you feel safer with the stinch, I've got a nice big suitcase that I believe that you will fit in.

Oh dammit. I was hoping the balloon thingie was THIS weekend. #1 Daughter is coming to town and she won't be back for over a month. I thought this would be a fun thing for her to do. Oh well.

She's on her way to pick us up to watch her skydive. I have very mixed feelings about this. Catch you guys later!
