I hate the Internet - I have been writing this for over an hour - all about the JFK assassination - and it just kicked me off without saving it. Definitely not writing it again. Also went to the Nasher Sculpture Centre. Has Texas bbq for dinner.

There wasn't any snow this morning, just rain. We went out for breakfast and booked a car to take us to the airport on the way back. The lady at reception said it was hard to get a yellow taxi when it was raining so booking a car was a much better option.
