I'm only 15 miles from Lone Star. I've only been here 10 years, so no I don't know Big Al. Originally from Aggieland.

We actually are in an EPA Attainment area, but it's from industry not from cars. Those coal plants (Martin Lake, Pirkey, Monticello) do the dirty work and they leave our cars alone.
