Crossing West Texas is the part that is mind-numbing. I enjoy it because you can just put the top down, crank up the iPod and sing as loudly as you want, and there's nobody to hear you or (mostly) even see you rockin' out while you drive. I also enjoy seeing the wind turbines up on the big mesas out there, although some say it 'ruins the scenery.' They look so small and inconsequential when they are far away, but if you drive on I-10, you're likely to see trucks hauling out new ones, with blades bigger than anything you can imagine. <BR/><BR/>You'll enjoy the drive. Just stay awake. And hey, if you add another three hours or so you can come visit me in Houston heh.Smukkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11675086895838627458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658575.post-1161853419981957952006-10-26T02:03:00.000-07:002006-10-26T02:03:00.000-07:00Las Cruses!

I've done a lot of road trips by myself and it gives one time to think, ponder and answer all those questions of life that have baffled you through the past year! Just make sure you carry a can of hairspray with you...it's a good deterrent if mace is illegal! ;) Put your CD player up and sing-a-long...doesn't matter what you sound like or if you don't know the words...no one is there to complain! ;)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658575.post-1161473573706853302006-10-21T16:32:00.000-07:002006-10-21T16:32:00.000-07:00I hope Mexico takes over Texas.I hope Mexico takes over Texas.World Champ Stephen Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03233004760190207435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658575.post-1161473249516999172006-10-21T16:27:00.000-07:002006-10-21T16:27:00.000-07:00I give up!

Time to do some 'mind filing' without having to make conversation with someone else. I prefer silence when I'm driving...perhaps just having the music I like playing as I sing (howl) along with it! You can 'moo' at the cows along the way and nobody other than the cows will think you're insane. I'm not sure if cows think...maybe they do, but they won't mind! ;)<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your trip.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658575.post-1161118697996409542006-10-17T13:58:00.000-07:002006-10-17T13:58:00.000-07:00Oh, one of the best trips I ever made was solo!

I'm a little glad to see that I wasn't behind on 60 updates, LoL! It's so much easier to keep up with people who update sort of like me, a little here and a little there. ;-) <BR/><BR/>I admire women who say things like, "I'm taking a road trip ... BY MYSELF" That is something I've always wanted to do, but I just haven't the guts. I have this terrible fear of driving outside my city limits, which "limits" my travel. I'm looking forward to reading about your vacation. Take care and I'll catch up with you again, hopefully not two months or more from now. Maybe within the month. ;-Paimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905660128068929702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658575.post-1160746065697854612006-10-13T06:27:00.000-07:002006-10-13T06:27:00.000-07:00Sounds like Fun!And thanks for all your kind words...Sounds like Fun!<BR/>And thanks for all your kind words!<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>VVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05099178229759202562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8658575.post-1160632712679858302006-10-11T22:58:00.000-07:002006-10-11T22:58:00.000-07:00Bummer that you're not coming north... though I s...Bummer that you're not coming north... though I suppose the weather wouldn't encourage it.
