The Winter Texan is back in Chicago, the real and true great City of Skyscrapers and Lights.
It's always been a joy and delight every time I fly in, looking down from my plane's window and see the endless miles of lighted streets, highways, houses and buildings.  As a world traveler, there's no place that can hold a candle when it comes to seeing Chicago from up in the sky in the early evening. 
If someday aliens from other planets should ever land their UFO on earth, the place to be is Butch O'Hare International Airport.  Why so?  The aliens will have an encounter of my kind: Their UFO, like my plane, will slowly pass beautiful downtown Chicago, see the beckon lights of building tops, circle the dark water of the great Lake Michigan and you will just get that feeling of being welcomed and hugged by the city.  I must admit and say, Mayor Richard M. Daley had done wonders in making the city the greatest of the great in my book. 
I should not say this because from what I've read and heard is not the experience of many other travelers: I've traveled a lot thorugh the years and so far my airline travels have been smooth and on time most of the time, even early.  Okay, I must admit there's one uncomfortable event on my United (Ted) flight from Las Vegas to Chicago a few years ago -- during the flight, unfortunately for me, not even halfway flight, the woman next to me got sick (she looked anorexic) and had to occupy my seat also.  The Goddess of Convenience, self,   what can I do?, had to stand on the aisle the rest of the whole flight since the plane was completely full! I related the story to my family and a relative asked if the flight attendant offered her seat.  I said no.  I forgot, did not care or realize, the crew had to seat, too.  Nevertheless, it's a flight I'll never forget.  Since then, I always pray no one get sick in my plane.
I don't even remember if I found a seat during the landing?
That bad!

Only in Texas!

GOOD

In Richardson , Texas State Trooper was running radar.  He had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting any.  Then he discovered the problem.  A 12 year old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign which read "RADAR TRAP AHEAD!"
The officer later found a young accomplice down the road with a sign reading, "TIPS" and a bucket full of money. (And we used to just sell lemonade!)
BETTER
A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post in Plano, Texas . A $40 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40. The police responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.

BEST
A young woman was pulled over in Austin, Texas for speeding. As the TX State Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said, "I bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the Texas State Police Ball." He replied, " Texas State Troopers don't have
balls." There was a moment of silence while she smiled and he realized what he'd just said. He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left. She was laughing too hard to start her car.

  Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about folks from Texas
 
  If someone in a Lowe's store offers you assistance and they don't work
there, you may live in Texas;
 
  If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you may live in Texas;
 
  If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a
wrong number, you may live in Texas;
 
  If 'Vacation' means going anywhere south of Dallas for the weekend, you may
 live in Texas;
 
  If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Texas;
 
  If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live
in Texas;
 
  If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both
unlocked, you may live in Texas;
 
  If you carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them,
 you may live in Texas;
 
  If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph --you're going 80 and
everybody's passing you, you may live in Texas;
 
  If you find 60 degrees 'a little chilly,' you may live in Texas;
 
  If you actually understand these jokes, and share them with all your Texas
friends, you definitely live in Texas.
 
  Here are some little known, very interesting facts about Texas:
  1.  Beaumont to El Paso: 742miles
 
  2. Beaumont to  Chicago : 770 miles
 
  3. El Paso is closer to  California than to  Dallas
  4. World's first rodeo was in Pecos, July 4, 1883.
  5. The Flagship Hotel in Galveston is the only hotel in North America
built over water. Destroyed by Hurricane Ike - 2008!
  6. The Heisman Trophy was named after John William Heisman who was the
first full-time coach at Rice University in Houston.
  7.  Brazoria County has more species of birds than any other area in North
 America.
  8. Aransas Wildlife Refuge is the winter home of North America 's only
remaining flock of whooping cranes.
  9. Jalapeno jelly originated in Lake Jackson in 1978.
  10. The worst natural disaster in US history was in 1900, caused by a
hurricane in which over 8,000 lives were lost on Galveston Island.
  11. The first word spoken from the moon, July 20, 1969, was "Houston," but
the Space Center was actually in Clear Lake City at the time.
  12. King Ranch in South Texas is larger than Rhode Island.
  13. Tropical Storm Claudette brought a US rainfall record of 43" in 24
hours in and around Alvin in July of 1979.
  14. Texas is the only state to enter the  US by TREATY, (known as the
Constitution of 1845 by the Republic of  Texas to enter the Union) instead of
by annexation. This allows the Texas Flag to fly at the same height as the US
Flag, and Texas may choose to divide into 5 states.
  15. A Live Oak tree near Fulton is estimated to be 1500 years old.
  16.  Caddo Lake is the only natural lake in the state.
  17. Dr Pepper was invented in Waco in 1885. There is no period in Dr

  Washington-on-the Brazos, Harrisburg, Galveston, Velasco, West Columbia,
and Austin.
  19. The Capitol Dome in Austin is the only dome in the US which is taller
than the Capitol Building in Washington, DC (by 7 feet).
  20. The San Jacinto Monument is the tallest free standing monument in the
world and it is taller than the Washington Monument.
  21. The name 'Texas ' comes from the Hasini Indian word 'tejas' meaning
friends. Tejas is not Spanish for Texas.
  22. The State Mascot is the Armadillo. An interesting bit of trivia about
the Armadillo is they always have four babies. They have one egg, which splits
into four, and they either have four males or four females.
  23. The first domed stadium in the US was the Astrodome in Houston.
 
  Cowboy's Ten Commandments posted on the wall at Cross Trails Church in

  (3) No telling tales or gossipin'.
  (4) Git yourself to Sunday meeting.

Dear Professor Joe:

 Thanks for the very informative USTPMTBBAA NEWSLETTER that I got yesterday,

Thursday, January 31st.  I must say it's the best so far with all the
inside info on the generosity of our fellow Thomasian alumni.  Na-iiyak ako
because of  my reading of the thank you letters of the recipients of the
USTPMTBBAA SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM.  Very appreciative talaga.  And for
you and Mrs. Purie to travel thousands of miles and long tiring hours to
the Philippines just to give the check and to make sure the money goes to
UST students or scholars that are really and truly  well-deserving.

 You, Professor Joe,  are indeed the best academic Executive

Director of the ages if not of all time!

 Bye for now as I have to shovel 8 inches or more of snow.  It's like

I'm in Iceland or North Pole.  LOVE IT!!!!
