January 17, 2008 Texas Eats Our Dust

Colder than a witch's tit in a cast-iron bra this morning, as my dad used to say. We made it all the way outta Texas today & are spending the night in Santa Rosa, New Mexico.
Finally made it out of The Land That Beer Forgot about 1 pm when we hit Wichita Falls. Weather was good today, cold but clear (except in Nocona, a town so bleak that we became convinced that the sun never shines there).
Both Wichita Falls and Amarillo were unremarkable towns, but even Megan enjoyed the Cadillac Ranch & 'Nali got to run around a little & do the dog thing.
We're staying in the nicest little motel (the sign's in one of the pictures), a real family kind of place. The guy that runs it seems quite devoted to his mom, a real sweetheart. I'm really looking forward to meeting her. Well, it's getting late...gotta get in the shower....
