Thanks. I have a bit of a personal connection to the flying horse, also. My grandfather used to make neon signs, up in Wichita Falls. He made many a neon horse for service stations in and around that part of the state. On several occasions, he was contracted to come down to Dallas and repair "The Big One".
He told me about it, when I was just a kid and I thought that he had the coolest job in the world. He said that he hated heights so the whole time he was fixing it, he just wanted to throw up.

The part that was strange about the experience with my client was that he said his wife, (who was born in Richardson), looked at it and remarked, "What does the Mobile horse have to do with Dallas?"
That's when he changed his mind and wanted to go in another direction with the look of his project. No skin off my nose, (I bill by the hour ).
