Husband called me last night about 8:30 pm from Indio. He had left 4 am with a friend on their way to Texas to retrieve some stored belongings. They will make it to El Paso by tonight. Good grief that last time I took off cross country was in the mid 60's with Judy Jones. We drove from San Rafael CA to Bluefield West VA in 33 hours. We drove in a Bonneville Pontiac, very cushy ride. We tried sleeping by the road for a few minutes but the truck traffic was so heavy we kept getting shock waves from passing trucks and decided we keep going. We only got lost once and that was in the foothills of Kentucky. We stopped at the top of a mountain that had three roads leading down somewhere. Some guys in a truck stopped and between them and Judy they managed to come up with a familiar location and we navigated from there. I slept for 13 hours.

Husband is near El Paso, will get to Houston in about six hours. Flying would have been quicker but at least you can usually get out of the car when you stop. R
I have one word for Houston.
UNREMARKABLE
Pride is all they have in Texas, but I don't know what it's for.
