Late for the Sky. A powerful relationship song.

I don't know what you loved in me
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be.”
2017 Astros vs Dodgers (Game 5). Astros came back from 3 different deficits (4-0, 7-4 and 8-7) to finally win 13-12 in extra innings. Win gave them a 3-2 series lead.

The Windows trail is accessed from the basin. Nice hike about 5 miles in length. Boquillas Canyon Trail is short. The South Rim is about 12 miles (15 if you hike Emory peak). I would try to do that trail again, since access will not be allowed fro two years during construction. Hike up the Laguna Meadows and camp overnight. Hike down the Pinnnacles. The views are spectacular and worth the hike.
Gretchen Goes to Nebraska (King's X) not on the list is a travesty. One of the best albums from 1989.

Kiss at the Summit (Houston), 1977. Styx opened (Grand Illusion Album).
Check out Petit Jean State park. It has a nice campground with public showers. Has one 12 mile hike, but is located near the Ouachita National Forest. The forest has some long hikes with campgrounds, but no showers. Fall or Spring are best times to hike. Very hot in the summer and can get very cold in the winter. Was hiking the area in the 90"s (Thanksgiving weekend) when a ice storm hit the area.

Sam Houston Coliseum. Diary of a Madman tour (1982). I believe it was January or February because Randy died in a plane crash not long after the Houston show.
Not low hanging fruit. A deportation order means a judge found she has no legal standing to stay in this country. Probably explains why the couple has not pursed this any further. They (at least she) was aware of the order.

My sister works for DHS as a attorney, is a hardcore democrat and hates Trump. Although she disagrees with some of Trump's tactics, she says he is following the law and doing the right thing sending back criminals and people with deportation orders. Her husband (a republican) is a Federal immigration judge. Both say many illegal immigrants know how to game the system.
