Today was a full day of travel. We left Pelican, LA at 08:21 in the rain and it did not stop raining until after 1pm. At times, the rains were torrential. I think the last time I remember rain falling that hard was the last time we drove through Texas on our way down to Louisiana 12 years ago.
We did make good time however, good enough that we went further than our scheduled stop (Abilene, TX). We are now in Colorado City, TX which is a drive of over 500 miles. For whatever reason, today's drive seemed to me to me easier than yesterday's even though it was almost twice as long.
It looks like we have left the rains behind for the time being so I am looking forward to some sunshine to travel under. The original goal for day 3 was El Paso, TX so we will have to see how far we go. El Paso is still 397 miles away from here.
Good night!
This will be a collection of my musings - when I have some. Although ramblings might be a better description. Whatever happened during my day will most likely be logged here.

About me: I am a baby-boomer who is now in his second career after spending 10 years in the military. I now work in the computer field, which also happens to be one of my hobbies. I also like to sing, play the guitar to accompany my singing, and play the piano when I practice (which is pretty much never these days)
