I was on my way BUT......

That was actually my second run to AMA but its been about ten years or more since my last. This time I was there a bit longer, got to see a bit more. It takes about 1.5 hours to get there by jet from IAH, and if you were in the North East, you would be in Canada if you took off say from Washington DC. So this is a big state and AMA lays in the panhandle of Texas. I really didn't take a tour of the city, but I did get on I-40 saw the BIG TEXAN STEAK HOUSE, and passed that to my hotel. From hotel, I took a walk about .75 of a mile to a Golden Corral. It's always interesting to see other people from other cities. I would say that 80 percent of the folks I saw in there were Mexicans/or TexMex, and I saw a couple of eccentric looking cowboy types one guy must have weighed 500 pounds, about 6 ft 4 and had that famous Texan ten gallon hat. But. I don't mean to judge a city by going inside a Golden Corral, however, it was quite interesting.
