OK, didn’t like to admit it, but, come to think of it, it may have been more than one episode.

Who shot JR anyway?

Oh, I remember very well. It was one of his mistresses - Christine(or Kristen??), his wife Sue Ellen’s sister. :open_mouth: :face_with_peeking_eye: :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:

Hi Jim:

Welcome. I’m from the USA. I’ve driven through the Texas panhandle on my way to Arizona a long time ago.

I’ve never been to the Panhandle. I live way at the other end, on the Gulf Coast, north of the Mexican border.

Now that sounds like something people might like to hear about!

Precisely so.

I was 19 years old and took a Trailways bus from NYC to Phoenix. One of the stops was the Texas panhandle. Everyone wore western clothing. I dropped my wallet without realizing it, and someone returned it to me, with all my money intact.

That’s kinda a Texas thing. We might be rednecks but we’re appalled by the idea of someone losing their hard earned money.

My father-in-law spent six months in S. Antonio while he was in the Italian Air Force, during his twenties, he had been sent there on a special mission. He often talks about his time there, has very fond memories, very proud of having had that experience.

Been to California a few times.

That’s funny. I spent three years in Italy when I was in the navy.

Yes, a coincidence, three years is quite a long time, you probably learned the language, may I ask in which part of Italy?

A small town north of Napoli called Gaeta. I remember how to ask for a beer…

That’s a lovely seaside resort, went there once on a family day trip, not for the beach but to visit the town and walk along the seafront. A couple of hours away from us.
