(Still) On the Road

Just back from Dallas. Only I'm not all the way back, as I got rerouted part way home to another bit of business. I did like Texas, though. I'll have more to say later.

UPDATE: One of the things I did out in Dallas was meet up with our own Thomas Doubting, who drove in from Oklahoma for the occasion. During a long and winding discussion, I referred him to this old series on The Saga of Burnt Njal. Unfortunately, the discussion of the saga among members of the Hall has been lost in the Great Comments Disaster. That was the worthy part of the affair, but the saga itself remains rewarding.

UPDATE: While there, my wife and I made a trip to Stroker's Dallas, a custom motorcycle shop, tattoo parlor, roadhouse, and live music venue. We also went by a custom bike shop called Dream Machines, which had a magnificent collection of fine bikes for sale. We walked by, but did not have time for, a place in Deep Ellum called Reno's Chop Shop. It looked like fun too. There were lots of bikers in Deep Ellum, an old blues and jazz center that has turned into what I guess is the Brooklyn of Dallas.

I'll have a bigger post on a WPA park when I have time to upload photos.

Did I miss something? I'm in Plano; a meetup would have been a good idea.

No, nothing formal. Tom wrote me a while ago and asked about a meeting. I just happened to be in Dallas this weekend on a business/pleasure trip involving a work friend's birthday, and suggested he drop in if he wanted to do so.

Think on the bright side, at least the NSA and Google didn't spy bot archive it in time. Or did they...

The problem with having too much data is that it takes too many analysts to crunch. One blog's worth of comments over a few years might stress out the entire human intel available for OIF.

I didn't realize you were in Plano. It would have been fun. Next time I have some time in the Dallas area, I'll check to see if you're free.
