tyres maybe sometime when we get a car, just back from 2 days in Huston trip on the ship channel cool sea air and 3 oil Refinerys NZ has 1 visted the battlefield where San A Ana lost Sam Huston won, San A Ana was a loon, and Battleship Texas this a premo place we went from top to bottom of a battleship sometimes only person in that area of the ship, 573 ft long 5 14'' gun turrets 8 5'' gun turrets more AA guns that you could poke a stick at + two searchlights on it came from the sunken Arizona,Visted Huston space space centre, to much time money and people to be a put up job pete
Can see a point to the way Alamo the way it is and the work that has gone on on the place the war was won ,
