Mike, Thank you very much for a such palmy-donky (i know i know) trip! I'm not sure if a trip to Las-Vegas is a priority to me, but the Wild-Wild West is a place in the States I would love to visit. Last November I saw just a piece of land in Western Texas and Denver airport and I have fallen in love with the American West.

Mike, thank you for that.
You take such beautiful pics.

How'd you get that #9636???
Looks like you climbed a palm on the median to get that shot :blackeye:

The donkeys (mules?) look so happy and healthy, managing to exist on the desert diet.

And those brevis...wow.
Love the mountains, and seeing the uplifting that's taken place over eons.
have fallen in love with the American West.
Going back there, Igor?
Got photos of that area?

Too many feedlots around Amarillo... Millions of the cow heads and a few yucca glauca plants. But those plants I've seen in the town... I shared pics already. Perhaps the Big Texan pics soon...

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
