Interstate 35 and the surrounding service roads are all fouled up due to ongoing construction - would not be surprised if that was a contributing factor.

In Texas, every vehicle owns the whole road and all lanes, simultaneously. Turn signals are not only optional, you might find yourself in jail for using them.

The Texas drivers license driving exam served as the template for a Mad Max movie.

Not only a good man and US patriot, but important in establishing the Texas firewall against the Ds. I believe he’s up for head of the R party in Texas. (Texans will clarify).

I’m encouraged by the lack of ominous news, which I anticipated. Hopefully its ‘serious, but not critical’. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for the report. Prayers for him and that the Good Lord will lead and guide his doctors as they care for him. Hope the other cycler is OK.
