Last four flights on Southwest have been super delayed. What's going on, SWA?

Well, I'm not hurting for entertainment. I can play some catch up....

Well since my flight is two hours delayed, I may as well grab one last one for the road...

These posters look like I asked AI to give me pictures of David Tenant as The Doctor reaching towards the camera and it gave me several to choose from....

When I wake up, I'll be all packed and ready to go back to Seattle. Where none of my history knowledge matters.

I hope one day Texas comes to its senses and realizes what it's lost by displacing minorities with skills and talents who were thrown under the bus for outrage votes.

The final schools: Willow City and Crabapple

The Rheingold School and Teacherage

The Cave Creek School

The Albert, Junction and Nebgen Schools.

The Luckenbach and South Grape Creek Schools.

I had one last day in Texas, and I'd seen most everything I felt safe enough to see. So I asked the folks what THEY wanted to see. Dad wanted to see the Gillespie County schools. So we went, and saw as many as we could given the constraints of the day.

They'll do the ones they missed some other time.

Rural schools are fascinating. Imagine walking miles to your nearest school, all grades in one room, learning your three Rs, and if you were lucky more (only need the three Rs for working the fields).

Or being a school teacher. A young woman, coming out to the country to teach, staying in a small house for the week next to the school before heading back to town for the weekend. Often in the middle of nowhere.

It's a very different world we live in 140 years later.

Here are the Muesbach Creek School, and the Grapetown School and Teacherage.

The fairly well cared for ghost town of Morris Ranch. Once a thoroughbred horse raising powerhouse, now a collection of weathered but still standing buildings.
