Hmmmmm.....moving right along, the wayside is strewn with the Usual Assortment of dork charges, near-blows and resolution of an almost conflict..:)) - ducks and longhorn cattle and bluebonnets discussion - spectacular scenery - - at least eighty-eleven "Oh, How I Miss Texas" sobbing expatriates putting in their two cents worth - -
An "I'm Moving Announcement" - an awful lot of braggin' !! - and several "I Survived a Mad Dash Across The Too Big State of Texas !! testimonies.
To the latter, I can add that after a year of being in South Dakota and 3 1/2 years in Fairbanks, Alaska, the Lord had pity and sent me to Myrtle Beach, SC next, by way of Florida.
Traversing the Alaska Highway and plunging down the Rockies in the Lower 48, it was a Jackets-in-June Experience until we reached New Mexico and swung across Texas.
Billie and all y'all Texans - it was not Waltz Across Texas in our Greenbrier van with no a/c - 5 now hot bodies and a dog in 105 degree heat!! We positively sweltered, reaching Louisiana and holing up in an air-conditioned motel for a day to recover..:))
My thought on that interminable dash was,"Who on earth could live HERE??!!"
LOL

I escaped the house for a few minutes this evening and found a butterfly or two or a dozen....

"Who on earth could live HERE??!!" Oh, yes, it's a bloody awful place...
But I can see how driving across the Texas desert might sour one.
It is indeed inhospitable! We think of it as a border.

I am sorry I'm so late in coming :( Gearing up for tomorrow's Hillary FReep north of Seattle. But what an absolutely beautiful thread today. I'm ready to move to Texas! BTW, Carry Okie is coming to my area on Thursday to lecture on Property Rights. Several of us WA FReepers will be there to greet our FReeper brother and family :)

Had Muscovy ducks when I was 9 to 13 years old.
On V-J Day, ending WWII, little ones hatched, and every one of them emerged with a black V for Victory on their foreheads!

Let's see if I can craft a Burma Shave Sign Series for that trek across Texas - -
Travelers rushing to get through
Don't let the arid desert get yew.
If yew stop to admire the view
Snakes and heatstroke might collect yew.

Did you mean Burma Grave?
Isn't it redundant?
To: LadyX
Cool Burma Shave signs
to read while we're surfing between the lines,
going 'cross the desert and thru the woody pines,
that rhyme was Lady X's
remembering her drive thru Texas...)
