Don't Mess With Texas

Texas is very wide. And from the highway, not terribly interesting. My whole day yesterday was a battle to keep Texas from putting me to sleep. Finally, around 11pm I got to Kevin's for a happy reunion. I haven't seen him in maybe over a year! Kevin and Shay became friends in college and, as he was a guest at the Bowman many a time, he has become my friend too.
Texas is very funny about their road signs, making clever little rhymes and puns like "IT IS unlAWFUL TO LITTER" and "POSSIBLE FLOODING AHEAD, IF YOU SEE WATER TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN". Apparently locals have little experience of the effects of heavy rain and have been doing themselves unintentional harm right and left. All I got of this rain was a few sprinkles, and now my car and rooftop parcel anre safe and dry in Kev's garage. It won't be the end of the world if the roof stuff gets wet, but it would be much pleasanter if it didn't.
This morning I slept in in luxury, showered in luxury, ate my breakfast while watching tv AND reading peole magazine in luxury. Well deserved after two 14 hour days of driving!
