Sunday / Hi Laurie, / Should have you along to help me drive - Got your license yet? Having a nice trip - wish I was at the cabin where it's nice and cool. Sincerely, Dick

According to the U.S. Census, the latest available population count of Amarillo (in 2006) showed  over 185,000 people in the city. Whenever I went on a road trip with my grandparents, we stopped for dinner in Amarillo.
