Don’t mistake my lack of updates for inactivity. Truth is, there are a lot of changes in store for me over the next month, which I will appraise you of in due course. You can count on that.
The photo here was taken on the road back from Dallas at 6:10am. When I stayed with Jody this weekend I ended up taking her little gate clicker with me and didn’t realize it until I got home late Sunday night when I was emptying out my pants pockets. It opens all the doors and gates in the complex, which is built like a fortress since it’s in the ghettofabulous part of downtown Dallas. When I called the apartment office about it, they said they didn’t have a temporary one she could borrow nor could they give her a temporary gate code, so I had to drive back up to Dallas after work yesterday to let her in after she got off her night job. Then we went to bed and I got up this morning at 5:00am so I could be back in Austin for work. So, that’s like two trips to Dallas and back since Thursday. It’s nothing but a thang anymore since I’ve gotten so used to driving long distances. Although I would have rather not made the trip, there’s no use getting bent out of shape by something you caused with your own stupidity. I just wish the coffee I got from Racetrac didn’t taste like a charred Incan mummy.
The things we do for love!!!

Ugh…that drive from Austin to Dallas is so boring. When I drove up there, I always got stuck in some horrible traffic jam just south of the river.
If you have some extra time, you should take the backroads sometime. There are lots of little towns to stop and visit and it breaks up the monotony. Take I-35 to Georgetown, then cut over to Burnet on 29 and take 281 up to 67 where you cut back over to I-35 east. It will add about an hour but at least it’s something different.
It’s not so bad with XM Radio… the other morning I got to listen to some old time radio program that had. It was weird… like The Twilight Zone. I like little road trips. It’s amazing how different things are just a few miles from the Interstate.
