Road Trip

Tomorrow I’m going on a road trip. It’s not a vacation but a trip to visit family members who need a visit from us. As often happens this time of year a blast of artic air is racing across the state leaving a sheet of ice on all the roadways in the northern and western parts of Texas, just the places that I had planned to go. Now we’ll have to go westbound Interstate 10 and up through Big Lake, Texas to avoid the ice. Maybe later in a few days we can go east on Interstate 20 and visit the others in Abilene and Ranger before heading back to Katy. If possible I need to stop in San Angelo either coming or going.

Because of the weather we will be leaving our travel trailer home. I think I can handle four wheels on the ice but not eight. We will be back in a few days. As Benjamin Franklin once said, "Fish and company both smell in three days."
