Saturday Bev and I took 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.
