Dodging the Storm...Not

My internal alarm went off at 0530...got up, made some coffee, watched the news...first mistake...reminder to self, watch the weather....did all those "manly" things one is suppose to do...loaded the car, checked out and was on the road by 0700....The sun was shining bright in my rear view mirror...for the first 40 miles....I crested a hill and boom...the sky was a pitch black..and the clouds where low.....no one told me about this...I click my heels to make sure I'm not in Kansas....and then the sky opened up and sheets of rain fall for what seemed like eternity...ok, it lasted until about New Orleans...some 3 hours....at one point I was about ready to call it a day and check into a motel.....lets recap...why didn't I take I-20...weather..Mmmm, was it as bad as this...oh well, what is.....is.  I traveled about 480 miles and ended up in Jennings, Louisiana ...and a short 365 miles from La Vernia Texas...so all is good....

I call my bride, then my daughter...go out and get a taco salad....and here I am, writting this blog..the sun is setting..I go outside and notice the Motel is adjacent to approach 270R at the local airport....though I haven't heard one aircraft take off or land...which remindes me, I stayed up somewhat late last night watching the tv movie Amelia Earhart...something I don't normally do...but this captured the adventurous side of me...and I wonder....where did she go down..Mmmmm

I suppose I better get myself ready to put on "snoze"....I appreciate everyone that took the time to visit  and especially those that left a comment...I will do a summary of the trip this weekend...Tom Mix says Happy Trails...so how many folks know who Tom Mix is????....go for it Barney.
