Maybe if the seller ever answers any emails, we could get a forum member to examine it...Lessee...Who do I know in Texas??? One girl, in Lubbock, who'd be 65 now...Probably not the best bet...

Maybe Glen, the guy two posts above...

Hmmm, not the Texas City I was thinking of.

This is the town which I was thinking of---was basically destroyed twice by oil refinery fires in its history.

Yep, that's it. Two gigantic explosions destroyed the town, in 1947 and 2005. Hmmm, it says that Texas City is the birthplace of the US Air Force - the Wright brothers trained pilots there...

Hurricanes too...I'll cross Texas City off my list of Better Places To Live Than Where I Am...

So it does. My mistake.

I had the trip to Texas City all planned. I figured I could make it there in 36 hours, driving straight through, as long as they didn't move it around the state again...
