After review of this thread, it will now be re-opened under the conditions that the personal attacks end. It is a priviledge to have this San Antonio Off Topic thread and it was enjoyable to those who were following the rules. If the attacks continue, it will be closed permanently without warning. Don't ask questions as to why it was closed for review earlier today. Those of you who are abusing this and attacking others know who you are and what is taking place. If you have any questions about this, feel free to send me a DM. Do not discuss the actions in the open forum.
Let me remind you of the TOS, which you all are familiar with.
Per the Terms of Service, which you agreed to follow when you became a member here:
Quote:
Be civil, no personal attacks, flaming, or insults. We may attack ideas (politely) but we do not attack the speaker of the idea. Be careful with your words, there is a point where being direct crosses a line into blunt, in-your-face hostility. Please, report bad posts instead of engaging in flame wars on the boards. Insulting another member or a moderator will not be tolerated anywhere on this website. This includes Direct Messages and Reputation Comments.
Again, let me repeat, this is open on a trial basis. If all goes well, perhaps it will become a sticky again.

Has anyone been to Marfa? And seen the lights out there? I talked to someone today that had been there a few years ago and said it's really interesting. They still can't figure it out.

I was totally nonplussed. It seriously looks like headlights off in the distance, from some other road. I would never waste my gas to go out there again.
My motto is "West Texas is not for humans and since I'm human I'll never set foot out there again even at gunpoint."  or something like that.

Well dang. I'll just sleep in the camper out front and have my neighbor turn on the headlights and say I went.  Will save a bunch of money on gas and still have a tailgate party.

Sorry....it just didn't do anything for me at all, and I was really jazzed about going and seeing it/them. Maybe YOU'LL like it! I just know Kerrville is as far west as I'll ever venture again, by car.....until the day I pack my stuff up and move to Morro Bay. Or they pack my ashes and send me that way, since that's where I'm getting scattered. Hopefully I can move there ALIVE and enjoy it for a while before that happens, though.
West Texas is one big giant sandbox with miles and miles of NOTHINGNESS. Doesn't do anything for me, but I know lots of people enjoy that.

Nope, nor does Iraan, San Angelo, Alpine (ok, well sorta), ....shall I continue? And Midland-Odessa?
It's the first time in my life I saw a real tumbleweed. I thought they were only in cartoons.....
*Iraan.......looks like it should sound like Iran with a Southern drawl. How they get Ira Ann outta that is beyond me.
