Looks like pretty slim pickings.[^] Wow, what a total lack of culture.

Yeah, I can hardly wait to see the RV museum. 
We considered going to the zoo, but if I want to see a jackass, I'll watch C-SPAN for free.

The Cadillac Ranch is worth a photograph. Maybe.

Yeah, I can't believe they made a museum of an RV park. WTF?

When you're in Mizzou say "Hi" to my sister if you see her - I hear she lives there now. 
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

You can make snowmen!!!
I googled map it, and it turns out there was snow on the day the google team passed by.

Lived in Texas for the first 20 years of my life but never had the reason to drive that far north into the panhandle. Unfortunately that is most of what I remember about Amarillo and the panhandle, no reason to drive that far. Detouring to somewhere with a decent population density (DFW) would take you quite the ways off your route.

I love starting a rode trip at night or early morning, when there is no light and then seeing the sun come up. On a sunny day, it can be quite awesome.
Have fun and be safe.

Just a warning, the Big Texan is a rather unique place to visit, but the food is terrible and the wait staff can be less than friendly at times. I'd recommend Coyote Bluff if you are looking for something out of the ordinary. The atmosphere is great, the food is decent, and it was visited by the Man Vs. Food crew awhile back, so it is also semi-famous.
Other attractions would be Cadillac Ranch (bring a couple cans of spray paint and some mud boots), the American Quarter Horse Museum, Amarillo Museum of Art, and Palo Duro Canyon (they have a zip-line that is pretty fun if you are into that sort of thing).

Thanks! I'll mention that to her, but once her mind's set there's no shiftin' it.

Lots and lots of horizon. Also, if it is dealing with the same issues as Lubbock the groundwater is full of arsenic, so I'd go with bottled water.

Not Frankie though it does sound like the sort of line he would use.

My friend turned me on to Udemy.
Looked at their website. // Liked it.
They have ten thousand courses.
I know the one I want to take now, but have no clue about the one I want to take after I finish the first.
I would like to sign up for a dozen (or more) courses at the current sale price, but don't know the 2nd, 3rd, 4th...Nth course I want.
Tried asking their tech support; can't get an answer for 2 days that way.
Looked for a phone number; best I could find was a number that was answered by some google software (no clue what's going on with that).
Can tell me what I need to do to physically speak with a living human at Udemy ?

I never looked at online courses because it's just not my cup of tea. Just had a quick look at some random C# course there and they charge €75? Holy moly. That's 2-3 printed books. Is it really worth it (if you like learning that way in the first place) ?

You missed the links that I have here.
The courses are on sale for $15 until tonight.
Oh well, this will be a good way to test the waters.
Friend just told me that this isn't their first sale.
Okay, I'll be a $15 guinea pig and try one course.
