Yes Catherine. Oblivion is Texas. Rising Star, Texas to be exact. Despite all its inadequacies, and they are too many to mention, there are many pluses also. The stars on one of them and they are so numerous and bright that on a clear night you can almost reach up and touch them. Thanks for giving me a little sense and tonight I appreciate some things that I often take for granted.
