That could work.  You could go back and sink the Mayflower before it ever hit the shore at Plymouth.

Why did you have to tell her I was a Texan? You know I always wanted to pretend to be a Texian!!-G.Costanza

Well....per the article, to be considered a Texian....you had to have been one of the original Anglo settlors of Texas.....NOT a descendant thereof. So....unless you are like over 200 years old and moved to and lived in the Republic of Texas......you are a Texan, not a Texian,   Tex.

I am sure I will find God's Splendor jaw-dropping.  Cathy has a tough time with me because of my love for Las Vegas and the desert. Since she is bound to 4 weeks vacation per year, I like to spend most of that going out West and am always thinking of Vegas when we are somewhere else. It's as if my Vegas hourglass is tipped and running. I have been fortunate in life to have traveled the globe. 3 years I supported myself as a musician throughout Europe and the UK. Got to the Eastern Block countries while the Iron Curtain was still a reality. Seen so much.

I finally convinced her that if she retires with me to Vegas, I will travel my balls off with her, because at the END of every journey, will be a flight to Vegas.

I hope I can make this dream come true. For her, and for me. I am going to be on my best behavior on the cruise. Hopefully I will love it.

so you are actually trying to say is that if rape is inevitable you might as well just lay back and let it happen

If you can afford it, do the combo cruise\ land tour. Wide open spaces, the last frontier. On a clear day you can see Denali (it's not Mount McKinley anymore) from the Glen Alps overlook outside Anchorage 150 miles away. Not kidding.

Just curious....you say Texian.......but that team from Houston and the 3-4 teams that had that name before it says Texans.    So? WTF is up with that?

And in any case, we here just call them DumbAss Texans....or Texians.

I would get over it.   A lot of different places in the US are given native American names...including half of the states:  Ohio among them.  And some major cities.   Chicago is a native word.  

If the Indians didn't want the whites to come in and  rename all that Sheet.....they should have had a lot more  Little Bighorn's to their favor.  (Even that has an "English" name).

Here....26 states have N/A names:

Regarding the coastal range mountains, the damn explorers didn't bother to ask the Indians, and probably couldn't pronounce them if they did. Pilimayah, Gip. Sioux for "Thank you". Think the Indians called New England, New England? As the saying goes, might makes right. 

& Because us damn Americans (or British) want to stick our names to geographical landmarks. Mount McKinley got it's name because back then, someone thought it would be cool to name the mountain after President McKinley. It's rightful native name IS  Denali- translation- "the high one". There's a bunch of Mount Washingtons around.

Furthermore, ahem- the Brits named Mount Everest after George Everest, the British Surveyor of India. As a mountaineer, sort of gets me POed. It's rightful local name- Tibetan Chomolungma, means “Goddess Mother of the World” or “Goddess of the Valley.” The Sanskrit name Sagarmatha means literally “Peak of Heaven.” BTW, the Nepalese at least named the national park that now surrounds Everest Sagarmartha NP. 

Everest is one of the few big Himalayan peaks that got name debased by foreigners. (notably one of the others K2. was so remote, even the locals didn't have a name for it). Maybe they should have tried to rename Lhotse "Mount Victoria" while they were at it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest_mountains_on_Earth

LOL, my Himalayan cat Norman's Himalayan name is Namcha Barwa. Hehehe, as those Imperial units gradually go the way of the passenger pigeon, so will the Imperial names we've tried to stick on landmarks.

It can still be Mt. McKinley....to the non-politically correct. 

Why just  Mt. McKinley?  Because it has the highest profile?

Why not Pike's Peak....it had a couple of Native American names:  

• Tava
• Heey-otoyoo’

And look at all of these:

So he moved to Alaska.

I am packing cigars, binoculars, shorts and T-shirts. If it's cold, I can think about Vegas. The wife is very excited about this trip. The thing I am going to enjoy is illuminating for all the passengers that the bottled water on the ship is recycled Caca-Peepee water and shower water. :-). A little Alaskan Ghoolie.........

Then drink some of that water from the ice that calved off a glacier.   Perhaps you can develop a process for that.

im all for wishful thinking...but dayum
