Guess I'm Kinda Nuts

OK, Vaughn. OK. Mount Locke in the Davis Mountains is about a mile above sea level so surely that counts as a mountain, doesn't it? Has the McDonald Observatory on top. Please tell me that's a mountain. I got feelings too, ya know???

My house is at over a mile high, and about 2 or 3 miles to the east of me is Sandia Peak, which is is about 10,680' high. And I've got friends in Colorado who think that's small, lol. Sorry about the feelings, though.

Back I was touring in the band, one day we were driving in west Texas headed to either Lubbock or Midland. (Or maybe between the two. Been a lot of years, now.) In that part of Texas and east New Mexico, it's so flat I think you can see the curvature of the earth, lol. I was driving the lead vehicle, and as I was driving over a railroad overpass out in the middle of nowhere, I got on the CB radio and announced to the other guys that they were about to drive over the highest point in west Texas.

I do remember going through the Texas Hill Country around Austin as a kid. My dad had family in the area. It was pretty territory for sure.

Been out there in the Midland area on to El Paso. Just doesn't seem like a lot of anything is out there, but of course there isn't. I've been all the way to the observation area on top of Wolf's Creek Pass and I know they be higher than Mt. Locke. But on the other hand, how high does a mountain have to be to be called a mountain? Hmmmm. Ponderances. Feelings ain't hurt. Quite fuzzy right now. Just finished doing a scrap wood burn and it's knocking on 102 right now. Oh, well. Do more tomorrow and it's supposed to be cooler by about 10 degrees. Maybe.
