Hey COB1,

I was watching PBS the other night (don't spread that around) and they had a special on how the Texas capitol building came into being. It was a fascinating story - imagine my surprise to learn that Chicagoans played a major role and that through a transfer of land to these Chicagoans as payment for "architecting" and building the thing, developed the XIT ranch. I was, quite frankly, embarrassed that I did not know all of this. And I stayed awake all through Texas history class.

Texas is such a wonderful place with so many larger than life people and so many good stories. I love my roots.

I didn't get to see that documentary!
Doggone! That sounds like my type of show!
(I didn't know that about the Chicago connection, either! Shhhhhhhhh!!!)
