Hi
Flounder, I lived in Houston in the latter part of the eighties. Hiddden Valley. You know where that is? And where in Houston are you?
The weather here is quite different. Much cooler, the summer here is colder than Houston winters. And lots of rain. I can remember when I left for Houston, it was 54 F and raining in Amsterdam. I arrived at intercontinental, walked through the doors to go outside, and felt like I walked into a wall. 95 F and close to 100% humidity.
Birdman, Ransdaal is about 120 miles from where I live right now, About 1.5 hour drive. So for us, thats about the other end of the world

My uncle has some very good racing pigeons as well, club champs.
