March 5, 2010 . . .

A very nice, blue sky, sunny day. It was a lot colder than it looked like it should be!! Made me want to do something neat and interesting, but I couldn't think of anything. I ended up getting a hair cut . . . life in the small town, I guess . . .

Took a package to the post office and while standing in line I spotted the photo and a 'certificate' on the wall. It was about the USPS using the old Bryan air field as a stop on the way west during the early air mail years. A couple yrs. ago the USPS did a commerative flight with an old bi-plane. Don't recall if it was a similiar plane that is mentioned on the sign. For this flight they used the county airport just east of where I live. I decided to take a photo of the sign, which is about a mile north of the present post office. Guess if I would have read it close while I was there, I would have taken a photo of the 'rest of the story' on the back of the sign. Well . . . I think that the next time you are in the mood for a one tank day trip, you should consider coming to Bryan to see tracks where the railroad speed record was set and the location of the old air mail stop. Might wanna make sure you read the back of the sign too.

Oh, and before I forget, I saw the plane headed west after the ceremony in Bryan a couple yrs. ago. I was mowin the rough at the country club.
