I hate people that reply to their own e-mails, but I needed to add a ps.  I 
tried looking up an aerial image on mapquest.  Don't know how current their 
satellite images are but the one on mapquest does not show anything under 
construction at this location.  Apparently it has all been done since the 
satellite photo was taken.

drove the Baja to the Manx Buggy Blast in Salado.  Neat show; thought about 
going to Krause Springs after the show but decided it was too far and we were 
tired.  Anyway, purpose of the e-mail:  About 12 miles west of Marquez and 7-8 
miles east of Kosse on Highway 7 there is one huge construction project.  This 
thing essentially is out in the middle of no where.  Large cranes building to 
the north of 7 a couple of miles, large concrete slabs going in next to 7, what 
appears to be a new rail line being built and what appears to be a large 
concrete building being built on the south side of 7.  I stopped in Marguez and 
asked the clerk, a little lady who appeared to be about 70 and would know 
everything about anything in the area, what the construction project was.  She 
said no one knew but it was supposed to employ a lot of people when completed.  
She sounded like it was a secret that none of the
 locals had an answer for.
   
  Ok, I have a mystery.  New Nuke plant, coal fired generating plant, Martians 
have landed and are building a city, polygamist are relocating to central 
Texas, VW is building a new assembly plant for busses?  Any body know anything.
