FYI, driving for seven hours all by yourself is a little boring. But some interesting things happened.
One: Was ambushed by the hugest tumbleweed I have ever seen. I was driving the mini-van, and this thing must have been at least as tall as the vehicle. And about as wide. I was passing someone, so I couldn't just swerve into the other lane, so I had to hit it. o_o It made a very loud cruchy noise, and when I looked back, there were two tumbleweeks. One very small, and one still quite big.
Two: The roadrunner incident of driving back to TX from Clovis earlier this year was almost repeated. Fortunately I saw it in time, and slowed down enough that it finished crossing the road and was not able to commit suicide.
I could swear there was something else that happened, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. But yeah, I'm still alive. Will presumably make the trip back and live. The only way I'm getting regular internet is to wake up before everyone else. Admittedly, this isn't too hard, but don't expect to hear much from me until I'm back in TX.
PS: The kitty in the icon slept by my pillow last night--a big change from Caruso, who would much rather sleep on my head. Purring. Loudly.
