Sabbatical blog - day five; Road trip edition

Chandler, our dog Addie and myself embarked on our road trip to Breckenridge this afternoon. We drove for about 5.5 hours to get to Lubbock at 8:30 tonight. Tomorrow will be a much longer day, probably 10-12 hours but should get us into Breck late that night. Not much really to say today other than it was a long day. A few observations from our drive to Lubbock:

* If you're looking for a show goat, there's a whole herd of them outside of Goldthwaite, TX

* Brownwood, TX does not want any boll weevils in their neck of the woods and have a big sign alerting you to this fact when you enter city limits.

* Saw more Dairy Queens in a three hour stretch than any other fast food restaurant. Seven DQs. Only in Texas.

* Lots of oil pumps and wind mills once you get on to Highway 84 on the way to Lubbock.

Thats it for me tonight.

Do you remember Tammy Pipkin? I think that she was from Lubbock. Yes, I'm reading your blog. And yes, Joe Versus the Volcano is still, and will always be, my favorite movie 8~))
