  1. I understand that yall may want it more accessible to the masses. But it was built there because of what occurred there. This isn't a statue to relocate, this is a pretty massive structure taller than the Washington Monument. It would probably be easier and cheaper to build something similar where you want it( like the traveling Vietnam memorial AKA the moving wall-it's like it but smaller) You can do what I plan to do..... just find the time and make an effort to get my bum out the site
  2. Some people have an all day pass, month pass, a transfer...... so you might not always see people go to the machine. From the times I've ridden it, Metro has checked to see if people have paid at least once along the ride. The guy sitting next to me got a ticket, his pass had expired two hours before they checked
  3. Which is fine by me if it helps get that line down Richmond and throughout the rest of the city. You GO Metro!
  4. That goes without saying. Usually hidden in the mouthwash bottle......shhhhhhh Some people make there own
  5. LOL That can be the next HAIF meet and greet. Everyone could just bring a pick axe and shovel and let the good times roll Yes it's a go. Semipro will tell you different It sounds like he's coming around though
  6. The second I saw the number I called from here. The lady just took down my name and that I was for rail on Richmond. I was biting my lip to keep from calling him a jackass
  7. Dagnabit, I'll be in Ft Hood. Enjoying the nice TX heatwave in the field. Maybe next time guys. Have fun...take pics
  8. I looked up the location I was thinking of that...just couldn't come up with the name, was searching past threads. Not sure if this is that project
  9. Welcome Murray Trying to think of this place but I'm drawing a blank I'm sure some one here will be able to answer your question or at least point you in the right direction
  10. Yeah it does get pretty nasty out there during Christmas. I remember a few years back two women literally fighting for a parking space at that mall
  11. Isn't that the reason there was a hesitation in installing seatbelts in school buses? That they could cuase more harm than good. That in a fire all those kids could be upside down strapped to their seats and not be able to get pulled out in time
  12. Thanks for the pics Jason. At first I was a bit skeptical about how it might turn out. Their past work doesn't look half bad. I would really like to see the old dome take on a new life.....even if a bit faux..... it's something else for people to see and do while letting the dome live on. PS welcome to HAIF cosmo (last name wouldn't happen to be Kramer? )
  13. When I do mention I'm from Texas, people ask me "where's your Texas Accent?" "I'm from Houston......we don't have one " One guy even said [i forget what we were originally talking about,( think he was from Brooklyn)] "You sure you're from TX, your just too cool man" "It's cuz I'm from Houston "
  14. Well I'm not in Iraq anymore. I came up with the name while there and stuck with it. The way I see it I'll be back soon (for the third time)so no need to change it every other year. Maybe once the war is over I might do LOL nice one Red
  15. When around other Americans I always say Houstonian. When I'm asked by anyone else especially here I now say I'm from TX. I use to say I was from Houston but I would always get a blank look (I think it's the American accent) now I just say TX and most people get that. Some times though I need to defualt to my third answer and say American. Then I just get one of these
  16. Yeah me too. Don't forget to tell your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers.......
  17. I bought my Vaio through pricegrabber.com. I forget how much but it was about $300-$400 less than elsewhere. I haven't had any problems with it....it's been through a lot this past year
  18. It's all good. You must of just gone under new topic instead of reply. No biggy one of the moderators will fix it.
  19. cool thanks for the pic tour JD. You left out the part where the path takes you under the street with all the pillars(don
