Yes, I know. There is
no actual Spindletop, Texas, but the sign
in today's 'toon couldn't say "Welcome

Terraforming has begun.
Yes! In 200 solar orbits this planet will

nests. Heh-heh-heh.
You know. I... I almost feel sorry for
the poor things.
Don't worry. They'll never know what hit
them.
Welcome to Spindletop, Texas. (oil wells)
