Re: Anybody reach out to our fellow members in harms way in Texas?

The half way point between Houston and Los Angeles is El Paso. So Texas is thicker than the combined widths of New mexico, Arizona, and California. And that's not even counting the 120 mile from Houston to the Louisiana border

Harris County Texas, which contains most of Houston, is bigger than either the states of Rhode Island, or Delaware.

The Houston Metropolitan Area is bigger than the state of Connecticut

Re: Painting used for Grand Prize/Buccaneer Advertising

All of those outta state cans, and a few more, were found in a garage in Houston, Texas in 2002. The guy bought all of them in HTown over the years. So yes, I would believe it.

Thanx for the great pix. I'm fixing to write another Guzzler soon. I'll prolly use them.

Painting used for Grand Prize/Buccaneer Advertising

Someone contacted my yesterday on the Grand Prize Chapter Facebook page, and sent me this jpeg. He said a friends dead relative painted this, and it was used as a Grand Prize ad. He mentioned that the damage which can be seen on the right is where a Grand Prize logo was placed, and then removed. And...

Cleaning Cans

Trying to buy a few flats. They apparently had a thin layer of laquer/shellac whatever applied to one side. Naturally, the laquer/shellac /whatever is yellow and cracked. It is the thickness of a piece of tape you would use to seal a box for shipping. I chipped a piece off using my fingernail, and t...
