It is a cricket chirping, song bird singing, blue sky beautiful, sunny Sunday morning. My digital flat sceeen TV connected to rabbit ears balanced on a wooden bar stool on top of a table has a great picture to watch my favorite weekly show, Texas Country Reporter. Bob Phillips is talking about Van Horn, Texas. I have been there! Well, driven thru it lots of times. Every now and then I hear someone speaking with dread about the drive thru west Texas. I love driving thru west Texas! I never get tired of the wide open spaces, hill country rocky terrain and all those ginormous windmills that seem like something out of a science fiction film. Scattered miles between small towns and so far off the road a single home, surrounded by brush and boulders gives me that wistful, far away feeling. Since the speed limit out there is 80mph wistful does not last long. One of my favorite distractions are all the small towns so full of history and charm. I spent a whole afternoon once in Pecos going thru the West of the Pecos Museum. The only thing I find really upsetting about driving thru west Texas is the massive number of dead deer, in various states of decay all along the highway. Can't they tell their friends?? Do deer absoutely not communicate with each other? I gotta get busy outside before it gets too hot. Hope you have a great day. kisses
