When we drive from our place in Tennessee to our place in Texas it takes about 16 hours. When we cross into Texas we are less than halfway there.

Like the old hobo song-

"the sun is riz, the sun is set, here I is, in Texas yet..."

The local wildlife includes roadrunners, jackrabbits, armadillos, rattlesnakes, horny toads, mountain lions, black widow spiders, scissor-tailed flycatchers, coyotes, and wild pigs!

Our county bills itself as "Quail Capitol of the USA".

Then there is the weather here...don't get me started!
