The plan here was to go to El Paso to see Sensee N. Taana and her fabulous husband Kenneth Gilmour Nicol. Festivities included watching the Bhutanese Olympic arching team compete with members the El Paso Archery Club, searching for vegetables at Taco Tote, and exploring the mysteries of the Balmorhea State Park aquatic turtles.
Also, several movies were made, of varying (?) degrees of quality:
 | Members of the Butanese Olympic Archery team retrieve their bows from their carryon luggage. |
 | The Local Organizing Committee competes. Competition was not entirely fair, but this is Texas. |
 | Franklin Mountains state park. The fossilized mammoth (`It's been there since, like, the last ice age. Probably since 0 AD, you know?' according to the docent) is just out of view to the left. |

 | |
 | Niescja operates her vehicle en route to Balmorhea. |
 | Diving boards abound. |
 | |
 | |
 | Remains of the battleship `Republic of West Texas' (c. 1872) are strewn about the bottom. |
 | |
 | Niescja internally reflects. |

 | Two upset fish lose focus in the foreground. |
 | A patriotic Texan mixes diving and politics. |
 | I battle the uphill swim against aquatic life. |

 | Sensee navigates back, mixing driving and diving. |
 | Mysterious forces have pierced the tire. |
 | I come to the rescue, bringing years of tire-changing experience to the scene. |
 | A weather-beaten US flag welcomes us to the I-10's Goodyear Tire Centre. |
