However, I'm less afraid than I was. In fact, today's drive was a pleasant surprise. There were enough unexpected sights along the long road through Texas that it shook things up ever so slightly and produced many "oh, wow" moments.
Like this windfarm (which stretched on for miles and miles. Literally, for about a half hour, this is what I saw on every side of me.)
Can we just agree that Texas is awesome? I mean, come on. What's not to love?
I'll tell you what I love: Dallas. It's awesome. For a second there, I considered just unpacking my car right there and settling in -- maybe see if I can get a job as the new Cowboy's coach or something.
I'm in El Paso now, and I'm a little melancholy to be leaving this great state tomorrow. Think maybe I'll slip over into Juarez and see if I can't get some good tequila to perk me up... or just get kidnapped/murdered.
This time tomorrow, I should be in LA. It's finally here.
[The highway's jammed with broken heros on a last-chance power drive]
Glad to hear you're almost there! I didn't even know you were leaving. :-(
ReplyDeleteSounds like quite the awesome trip. I know you're going to do well out in the great LA yonder. I'll totally look you up when I visit next!
Driving past 30 minutes of windfarm sounds like a dream come true to me.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I think the Cowboys new coach is doing just fine, though I hear there's a position open somewhere in L.A. That would be Bill Goldman's, good luck!
ReplyDeleteI used the word "awesome" twice in this post without realizing it.... awesome.
