    Problem is, in Virginia, that would be a weapon limited to vehicles permitted to drive in the HOV lanes.

    Well, I made it back through all the cramped airplane rides to civilization. Arrived last night at 10 P.M., and I was a little exhausted! I passed the course with a 90%, which was pretty good, considering that some of the questions on the test we were not taught in class. ( I guessed a few right! )

    Glad to see that you made it home in one piece. I hope you had some fun in S.A.; along with Austin, Baltimore, and (yes) D.C., it's one of my favorite cities.

    Now the fun part begins; I have to set up workstations, send out annoying e-mails, etc. And, I get to submit expense reports until they begrudgingly pay me.

    Texas isn't just the second largest state in the U.S.; it's unique shape makes it very diverse in geography and climate. Cities along the Gulf Coast like Houston may get something like 50 inches (about 120 cm) of rain a year, while even more inland areas like Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio still receive 32-40 inches of rain annually. So, most Texans live in well-watered areas. I'm up here in the Panhandle, on the High Plains at something like 3000 feet higher than San Antonio, and in the first 3 months of this year, cities in the area recorded between .6 and 1.25 inches of rain. We're much more like far eastern New Mexico, Colorado, and Kansas than the rest of the state.

    We are pretty dry, but the far west region of Texas is in the Chihuhuan Desert. It's even more arid, but the terrain is gorgeous.

    And, if you asked most Americans for their images of Australia, it would be the Sydney Opera House or Ayers Rock.
