I left Houston at 10 am. My thermometer says it's 101 F outside, but the radio says it’s only 85.
Lunch at Sonic and refueled at noon.
Definitely more interesting stuff on the side of Texan roads: boots, sandals, and a dollhouse. Well, that and seven dead armadillos, 5 possums, four racoons, a couple of squirrels and dogs, maybe a coyote, and the legs and ribs of a deer. That's not counting the 10 other unidentifiable things I saw between 4:30 and 5:15.

| Now it's starting to feel like Texas. |
