We'll be doing Big Bend out in West Texas over Spring Break.  I'm really looking forward to that.

I don't have it scheduled yet, but looks like we'll be in Austin March or April.  Our travel slate is full and then some.

That was not me, I merely quoted Phil Sheridan.  I've enjoyed visiting Texas several times, I wouldn't want to live there of course.

I've mentioned before how we had a joint development with Shell Chemical west of Houston.  I'd be down there every 4-5-6 weeks.  In January, it was awesome.  Not so much this time of year.  Shell Chemical has a massive research facility in Westhollow.  Their former head of R&D was an engineer named Jimmy Doolittle, yeah, that guy.

I've been there.
At 10,000 feet in an AH-64, doing about 120 knots.
It felt like we were suspended on an invisible string. There was almost no discernible motion over the ground.
What was down below did not look like the Garden of Eden.

Did you ever get to meet Doolittle, CD?
Man, that guy was connected to everything in aerospace between the 1920s and the 1980s.
Somewhere, I've got I Could Never Be So Lucky Again, his autobiography. It's a fascinating story.

Heh!

It doesn't look like that from 10,000 feet.

No, he had passed.  They had a huge portrait of him in their main lobby.  I was told they wanted to name Westhollow Research Center for him, but didn't for some reason.
