    True - but remember parts of Dallas County are still dry. (I live in Garland, which just this year finally voted out a blue law. Grocery stores can now sell Beer and Wine - where before there was absolutely no place to purchase achocal other then a restruant in Garland.)
    O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean

    The area he is refering to is in south east Texas. There are cities with the initials H- E - B that will come obvious once you center your map on that location.

    I was wondering....

    I remember a rather popular chain of supermarkets in the Austin area named HEB, but didn't recall any bars therein.

    hmmm..actually i was referring to Hurst, Euless, and Bedford, those little burgs outside of Fort Worth known for all sort of police policies (mostly speed traps) designed to line the coffers of those towns at the expense of citizenry. but your houston call works, too!

    Well Yes yours is actually more accurate now that I actually see the cities you are refering to.

    Since I work in an area that ships a lot of packages using the mail system, I assumed you were going with the codes for the Houston area.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
