- Several of you need to look at a map....if you are going to albuquerque, `
- even, which is in central new mexico, and well south of taos and santafe,
- you would still possibly go thru panhandle....from dallas, for example,
- you would take 287 to amarillo, where you would hit i-40 to albuquerque....
- and amarillo is the center of the panhandle...and the only city of any
- size in it.....(note, Neal is NOT the only one to miss this.)
-
- and 'on the pad' does NOT have anything to do with 'on the rag'....
