Sometimes I miss Texas. Thanks for the travelogue and the photos.

Sounds like fun. When I go back home, I have to drive all the fuck the way out to West Texas, which is less fun. I’d love to have a ranch in the Hill Country.

Is this the right time to mention that I nearly got a concussion at Krause Springs and nearly drowned at Hamilton Pool? I’m with the puppy on this one. Oh yeah, and the second-degree sunburns down my shins that one time down the Guadalupe. And that one time my friend did an impromptu slide down the rocks on the Pedernales River? We hate Nature and she hates us.

I am careening in a dust-colored Jeep through the Kalahari in a PBS documentary. For some reason I speak with an Australian accent when I do this.

If that were an Australian accent, that wouldn’t be a ‘dust-colored Jeep’, but a ‘dust-coloured Ute.’ Great travelogue, though.

Twisty, I love your hood! But, sadly, I noticed a heavy exurban creep (not people, the motion)/SUV theme.

We’ve got some nice farmlands around here, just minutes away, and the yuppies have found them, and the cheesy-ass, faux gothic mcmansions are going up. And so f*cking many of them. It’s heartbreaking. You drive down the road, seeing pines, pines, old church, pines, REPENT sign tacked to a pine, some more pines, and then, BAM! Some tacky-ass sign announcing the Suckholes at the Glen, homes from $500k, or some such nonsense.

Ah well, it’s sad. Everything is getting so loud, she noted geriatrically.

Pix of Bertie at/avoiding the creek? Zippy w/ burros? More, Twisty! More! =)
