A Break

The night of traveling has taken its toll.  The storm clouds gathered all around as we took off from Austin. They darkened the sky northward. Lightning bolts shattered the sky most touching down at some distance. The rsin on I35 before Dallas was the worst. Hard to see at times and traffic at two lanes with construction.  The first gas station was wonderful.  Clean and friendly and really it was the end of the most harrowing part.
Driving last night in that derp darkness was nice. Somehow rejuvenating. And the deer all stayed on their own side of the street.
Maybe I'll get a haircut in St Louis.
