Got this in the email from my g'pa confirming his arrival home.

Went to 2 western art museums in Fort Worth and also saw the Long Horn Cattle drive down the street at the Stockyards.

Also spent about an hour at Texas Arlington U. Campus is really nice with all the trees now green.

After driving around Fort Worth etc., I am more convinced then ever that the interstate on and off ramps in Texas and much of the directional signage were designed by engineers graduated from MMU, otherwise known as Mickey Mouse University.

I wholeheartedly concur with that!

ROTFLMAO

Your g'pa sounds like my kind of guy. :)

And you know what they say about TxDOT --- if someone decides that the road signs need to be a foot taller, TxDOT will lower the road.
 
WOW !!!!!! No mercy there.

I like Texas farm roads. The highways are a different story because the directional signs are too small. The speeds people travel are accepted at thirty m.p.h. over the posted limit and it is too hard to read the directional signs at those speeds. :rolleyes:

TxDOT will lower the road? I thought they're just reccomend everybody drive an oil drinking taller SUV instead of their car so they could be a foot closer to the sign to read it better.
 
From what I've seen, Texans don't need to be told to drive SUV's....
