You are there
Thought I'd put up some randomness that hasn't made it into anything yet.
- Fire ants are not native to Texas, but they're there. And they aren't bothered by Deet
- Chiggers don't like Deet, but it's only useful if you apply it before you find out about the chiggers
- Chiggers do NOT burrow under your skin. Those are chigoes, another bug entirely. Chiggers are a part of the arachnid family and they spit an enzyme on to your skin that dissolves it enough for them to suck up the proteins
- Starbucks is everywhere, and thank god! Even if they prohibit their employees from expressing any opinion about they way the world works, they also play Billie Holiday on their patios and have bathrooms with toilets that flush well
- Truck drivers are lovely people. Especially Robert, who found my wallet on the ground in Waco when he was out for his midnight stroll
- Keep your cell phone number in your wallet when you travel so that truck drivers don't have to call your parents in other time zones in order to find you
- Give your parents your cell phone number when you travel so that they don't have to comment on your blog to tell you that you've lost your wallet
Ok. Have to get packed. On to Amarillo today.

I've had legs like that! I know your pain, sister. It's Celina again, the one wearing the Texas Democrats cap (with the menthols). Glad to know all is well and you are on your way to Amarillo. Lots of attractive women come to Dallas from Amarillo!
Speaking of attractive women, kisses for Blanche.
I liked what you said about the meat goats. It's so true. Most of the e-mails I've gotten so far plan for another weekend camping at Camp Casey 1, no mention of 2. This is what's going on in Dallas/Ft. Worth
