There's a hotel in Mesquite called the "Spanish Trails Inn" and their marquee for as long as I remember has always said, "American Owned." It could be totally in my head but I've always taken that to mean "Do not panic! We do have 'Spanish' in our name, but that does not mean we're going to speak Mexican at you."I drive by this on my way to work some of the time. It seems vaguely racist.

Sorry that I have no pictures of the multitude of awesome motor-court neon signs that line 180/Division St in Grand Prairie and Arlington, but that would be what I would post here if I weren't so f*ing lazy. Photos will follow.

a couple of days late as I couldn't find the right lead to download this from my phone.

Kuljit Bhamra presents a unique sunset-performance at the world famous Stonehenge. Together, with shaman Judith Seelig, electronica producer Tom E. Morrison and award-winning choreographer/dancer Nina Rajarani they will create a visually and acoustically vibrant performance using the stones as an integral part of an enchanting narrative.Brightly dressed dancers weave amongst the stones to pulsating tabla beats, Indian vocals and shamanic voices as the performers create an ambient and driving underscore to the question "If the stones could speak, what would they say?" Alternately powerful, tender, funky and bizarre, you will experience a remarkable love song between voice, drum and electronica that underlines a theme of grandeur and stimulates our awareness of the great big unknown.
We got there early so managed to score front row with a great view of the stones and performers. There was one point where the bassline kicked in and the hairs on the back of my neck just stood up and danced.

passed a convenient store in east texas that had a large, AMERICAN OWNED AND OPERATED sign.There's a hotel in Mesquite called the "Spanish Trails Inn" and their marquee for as long as I remember has always said, "American Owned." It could be totally in my head but I've always taken that to mean "Do not panic! We do have 'Spanish' in our name, but that does not mean we're going to speak Mexican at you."I drive by this on my way to work some of the time. It seems vaguely racist.
