Did you know Texas is misty today?

I spent the weekend in San Antonio, and saw some good friends while I was there, plus had a really nice date with Rich. I drove back this afternoon/evening, and it was misting the whole way. All 300 miles. I watched a tanker truck fishtail right in front of me, on a two lane section of 281 just north of Hamilton. A horse trailer turned in front of him, then went slower than tanker truck driver wanted to go. TTD, obviously annoyed, decided to pass when there wasn't enough room and had to slam on brakes, causing the fishtail. TTD got it back under control in time to slip back in behind the horse trailer. The first oncoming car was already way over on the shoulder, of course, which I'm sure made it handy to just stop right then and clean out his pants.

Rich will be here next weekend to go to a couple of Stars games. They've lost their last three so badly, we're going to have to focus on how much fun it is to go to the games (and not think about their position, or lack of it, in the playoff standings).

Everybody drive carefully out there!
