Texas is unlike any place you could ever live. Trust me I know. Texas does its own thing a lot of the time. We have things that only happen in Texas. We have smells that just bring us back.
Oh, the carefree days of summer in Amarillo. I think we are all ready for those warm summer days. OK, there will be a few cranky people out there complaining about the heat. They just need to cool off.
As the school year is starting to wind down here in Amarillo families all over are making their summer plans. What you think might be a relaxing summer very rarely turns out to be, especially when you have kids involved.
A couple of weeks ago I was driving around Amarillo when I drove by a certain food establishment during what should be the dinner rush. I did not see any cars in the drive-thru or really in the parking lot at all. When I got to work the next morning I told a co-worker that even though it hadn't happened yet I call the story when this place closed.
There has been a lot of talk about The Slug Bug Ranch. The bugs located on I-40 near Conway were dug up not that long ago. They were going to move. The plans have changed a few times. Nobody wanted to see this project just disappear.

Have you taken the time to get your TSA PreCheck yet here in Amarillo? You might think you don't really need it. Our airport never has a miserable wait time to get through TSA. Oh, I get that but let me tell you it is the best thing I have ever done.
