Hatton- what a funny coincidence!
So you know about the huge steak dinner "free if you can eat it all". And the helium plant. And Pantex (my father- in-law did surveying for this right after college, but didn't know what it was going to be, except the walls were unusually thick...). Have been to Canyon to the "Texas" pageant. Got a ride on a wheat combine. The whole 9 acres <g>. My father-in-law was the "black sheep" of the family - instead of going to A&M and coming back to the family wheat farm, he went to UT Austin, studied Engineering, and eventually ended up in CA with all them "furriners" as his mother put it. Have a good weekend. -Ben > You would be referring to "The Cadillac Ranch".
