A Post

We were in Waco over the last weekend.  Every time I visit another city in Texas my belief that the DFW area is the garden spot in Texas is strengthened.  Our Metroplex seems to have greater diversity than any single city.  In addition our air tastes far better than that in Houston.

The trip down took about two hours.  The trip back up Sunday eve took SEVEN hours of driving.  Black ice, multiple accidents, drivers unable to cope with the conditions led to HELLISH driving conditins.  We were lucky to get home in one piece.

Once we got close to Dallas conditions were much better.  The freezing rain and snow had passed, and our very efficient road crews were able to get a handle on all the trouble areas.

It seems the TxDot crews  --  you know those "overpaid", "lazy", "gubbment" workers do a far better job than those of the "quasi-private" folks at the NTTA, one of those things that warm the the cockles of conservatives hearts  --  if they happen to have any.

Anyway, it was a non-productive weekend that ended with the "ride from hell" (TM applied for).

More coming soon.
