In Case You Didn't Know...

...Texas is REALLY big. It's 773 miles wide and 790 miles from north to south. And it will soon be the largest state in America as soon as Alaska melts from global warming.

Nothing like a 6 hour/375 mile drive to the middle of nowhere to clear your head. The speed limit is 80 miles mph, and my car gets about 15 miles to the gallon, so the needle on my gas gauge moves about as fast as the minute hand on my watch.

I love the drive though, as well as the sites you see in small Texas towns with names like Junction, Ozona, Sonora and Ft. Stockton.
