The only remaining World War I era dreadnought battleship. Powered by triple -expansion steam engines. Did shore bombardment from North Africa, through D-Day, and to Okinawa. Wow.

Texas Ping, the Best State in the USA!

Yes, that speedboat is from the Houston County Sheriff's Office, providing security. Not just goofing off on the water.

A ping out to the Texas Ping list, founded by Windflier.

Another special Texas August edition for your perusal.

As always, please FReepmail me if you want on or off the Texas Ping list.

Blessings, and stay cool!
