Road Trip Getting off to a weird start. In Austin, a bona fide medicine man gave me a ride to the airport, Yellow Cab, of course. Only in Austin. A flight attendant looked at me, “Hey, I know you….” “Nope, bet you’ve never seen me before,” I replied. “Coffee, black, riding in the hot tub?” Road Trip

Borderlands

Borderlands. I was following my own advice, and glancing back over my shoulder to see some of the places I’ve been. Seems like I’ve spent a lot of time in borderlands.

Road trip

I was fooling around on the web, not really paying much attention to what I was clicking on, while I was looking at [url=http://www.verizonwireless.com/]cell phone plans, hardware, software, and [url=http://www.t-mobile.com]coverage.
