Sorry! ☹ I’d visit ya, but I’m about 10 hours from the Rio Grande Valley. I usta go down there all the time to visit friends and my sister’s in-laws. I don’t suppose you’d like to stop in and visit them? We’re all mexican so they’ll want to feed you and possibly even adopt you. ---

Are you flying or driving? If you’re driving and can go through Houston we’ll entertain you. If you can even get near Houston (say, Austin or San Antonio) we might be able to round up a few. ---

Passed through McAllen and the Houston area this summer. S’a nice place. There’s some rocking movie theater not too far from the hotel we stayed in. There’s my meaningless contribution for the night. 😃 ---
