    Question

    Truth be told, if I'd known I would have saved the 12 gallons of gas! But we didn't get upset about it though, it was a nice day for a ride, and we had not been in the capital since before the extention and restorations were done in the 90's.

    Hopefully, I'll have more luck at our Houston event at the Monument today!

    Z, I think I may have a clue why there was not an event at the Capitol this year. Sia LaBelle Beaton is usually the organizer for this event and also runs the TXSCOT webby. She was busy at the San Jac Monument on Monday. I might add that she has been chronically ill for the past few months, so I suppose the San Jac event was all she could handle.
