Actually, it is not... I-20 doesn't go there... The last town on I-20 is
Waskom -- unless they've moved I-20 again (I remember when it used to go
actually *through* Dallas instead of on the south side of it)...

If you are going to stay in Orlando, try Fun2Dive.com, they are always
diving either in the springs or of in the ocean.

Sorry... I meant I-30... although, it would probably make more sense to go
through Orange on I-10 if you were heading towards nice diving.

I-10 doesn't go directly through Orange. You need to hang a left off the
I-10 onto the 57 at Pomona, head south through Orange to I-5, south on I-5
to the 55, south on 55 to the 73, make a right on Laguna Canyon Drive, a
left at the bottom of the hill onto Pacific Coast Highway, and then a right
turn down one of several streets (I do Brooks a lot) where you can park,
gear up, walk down the stairs, across the beach, swim out about 300 feet,
and descend. Don't you Texans have any sense of direction?

Orange, Texas, of course... From El Paso, SoCal might be closer
though... <grin>

I just checked it out... Orange, CA is closer to El Paso than Orange, TX...
Trivia for today, I guess...

Just one more reason to abolish Texas.

Not sure your logic behind that statement... Not that logic has ever really
stopped you from arguing a point, I guess... Oh well, what can one expect
from a goy Jewish lawyer -- you're inherrently confused at the genetic
level... <grin>

Well, that makes sense.

CA is west of Texas.
El Paso is on the West side of Texas
Orange (TX) is on the East side of Texas.

Therefore, everywhere in California is closer to El Paso than Orange, TX.

Thank you. Grumman wanted a logical analysis of why we should abolish TX
and you just provided one.
