LOL, yeah, I know what you mean! Actually I enjoyed the back way, though. You miss so much of the "local color" being on the Interstate. Saw a lot of little curb markets along the way. I stopped at a rather large one and bought a watermelon to take back to Denton. There's just something kind of neat about small-town curb markets.
It also amused me how many Dairy Queens there were along the way. It reminded me of the saying "You know yo're in a small town in Texas when everyone gives directions in relation to the Dairy Queen." [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]
I had fun in Louisiana (went to see my folks for the weekend) but I was glad to get back home. I spent about an hour that evening balling and deseeding the watermelon so I have a lot of little containers of it for my lunches this week.
Cheers,

Yeah, we used to say that Terrell was a big town because they had
TWO Dairy Queens. Did you ever read
Walter Benjamin At the Dairy Queen by Larry McMurtry? Lot of insight into small town Texas life.
