Does alan still have the locator up on all of us?
As for me Brick.. I live in Arkansas.. a lil ol town on the Oklahoma border called Ft Smith. I like long walks and fresh flowers. Shoveling the driveway of snow got a lot easier since we got the flame thrower, and I was getting the newspaper quite regularly till my neighbor cancelled his subscription.
I used to live for Nascar. As a kid growing up, and I have said this before, I lived for every tape delayed segment that the Wide World of Sports would show, or any sniglet that CBS would pick up. I praised the day that ESPN would show some of the races, but TNN for a while would show ASA, NASCAR, NHRA, hell, anything that'd race, they'd show it. The smell of burnt rubber, fuel, and the rush of the sound, like a monster out of hell, when the stock cars would shoot out of turn two at Talladega. Now, I pretty much phone in my viewing. DVR is the biggest reason I watch now.
One last thing. One night, not too long ago, I accidentally stuck my ignition key in my door knob on the front door, and the house, well, it kinda started. So, I drove it out to the interstate, parked it sideways, and told everyone to get the hell off of my driveway. I was going to call some friends, but my phone has no fives on it. I did however fly to Wichita Ks one time on a plane with only two right wings. The coolest thing is the light switch by my front door. For some reason, it has two switches, and one of them of course turns the light on in the living room, and the other did nothing, or, so we thought. I played with this thing one day, and for like, four or five hours, just clicking it on and off, on and off. We got a letter from a lady in Berlin Germany telling us to knock that crap off.
it's a small world.. but I wouldn't want to paint it..

I actually love getting to know everbody in the group so this question does not bother me a bit. I am in Dallas and can understand what you mean about the brown but remember Texas is big and most of it does not look like Corpus. Dallas is not brown at all, of course it is not Green either. It is concrete so we have absolutely no color. The Austin area is very pretty, hilly and very green. Love it there, we are in the process of buying a lake lot on Lake Travis
I am married to the most awesome hubby. He lets me get away with being me, and hey I am bit crazy so that makes him awesome. He is not a race fan so I am all on own there but he lets me go with my sis and mom and 3 blondes at a race together is just crazy so you know he is awesome.
I have 2 boys. My lovey's! They are 1 and 3. They rock and I am brainwashing them to love racing, and hey its working. My oldest Love the Blue car. Kurt Bush, but hey at least he will watch it with me.
Ok so that is me! What else you got? Oh and nice to meet ya!
Heather

Not trying to pry any type of "personal" info out of ya , just curious as to the region/area you are from.
No addresses or anything , If this spooks ya .... saying the next town over is totally acceptable.
As for myself , I've lived in southern Indiana all my life just outside of a town called Martinsville , Indiana . Pretty nice area with rolling hills and some of the friendliest people I've ever come in contact with. Done a bit of traveling when I was 19-25 yrs old (45 now). been all along the east coast from Vermont , Conneticut and Maine all the way down as far as Miami and the Florida keys....around the gulf coast states as far as Corpus Cristy, TX and back up towards Kansas , Missouri and Wisconsin. Basically been to most states in that huge circle !
But alway's come back home to where I'm from ! friendly people everywhere but it's more of a "comfort zone" issue coming back here!
Didn't much care for the time I spent out towards and in Texas. I like being around the "GREEN" living trees and landscape!! Instead of looking out and seeing brown. But it was nice to see it all the same.
Northern states are a bit colder than I like , and it's just the opposite for the southern-most areas I visited.
I do like the areas in the middle ! southern Indiana (of course) , Kentucky , Tennessee and about all areas lateral on both sides... not too hot , not too cold !
Not too much personal history in there , But more than I started out to write down here.
Yes , I do rattle on a bit at times !
Reply only if you feel comfortable doing so , I'm not trying to pry......... just curious / wondering.
G-nite
