This is arguably a bug and not a feature...

A nice piece of Texas trivia: it's about the same distance from Houston
to El Paso (750 miles) than either El Paso to LA or Houston to Atlanta
(800 miles)!!

PS I have a thin file of negatives I shot while I was in Texas. This is
a good time to think about pulling them out and printing some of the
better shots. I have come a long way in the darkroom since then and a
trip down memory lane would be nice.

Back then I ran everything in D-76 1:1. I think I just bought whatever
B&W film I could get my hands on so there is a lot of Neopan as well as
Tri-X and Plus-X.

I had to use ice-cubes in Texas to bring the developer temperature down
to something reasonable...
