I didn't do much today, but what I did was OOMPH. Exhausted, but my OOMPH day isn't over yet.

I've missed the sounds of cicadas and grackles.

Today's Texas Food: Bill Miller's BBQ.

Only in Texas can you get fast food BBQ.

Also, before you Texans complain about the quality of Bill Miller's, "the worst BBQ in Texas is better than the best BBQ in Seattle."

Guh.

Any one of my shortwave friends know if this was the shortwave time signal that ended? Or just the AM/FM broadcast that ended?

Today's Texas Adventure

A nice quiet evening with Umber followed by visiting some old childhood haunts. Really miss home. Wish things were different and could move back.

I originally was gong to post this because the juxtaposition of an Austin School in San Antonio, the "We taught a burrito to drive, people are easy" is WAY funnier.

(Day Before Yesterday's) Adventures in Texas, Parte the Finale

After the skirmish site, we had a lot more time than we expected, so we headed out to do the Three Sisters Tour.

If you find yourself in the western Hill Country, you owe it to yourself to do the tour. While I tend to focus my Hill Country trips to the Austin/San Antonio/Fredericksburg triangle, it's 60% history, 40% beauty. The Three Sisters Tour is 90% beauty. I consider it the most beautiful part of the Texas Hill Country.

From Leakey, take Ranch To Market Road 337 (Sister #1) to Camp Wood, from there north on Texas 55 to Ranch to Market Road 336 (Sister #2). Turn right at Texas 41 and again on Ranch to Market 336 (Sister #3).

Fill up in Leakey, cause once you leave Barksdale, you're not seeing any towns for a LONG time.

I never liked any of the New Who themes until Jodie Whittaker, because they all have this "upbeat pop epic" sound to them. Jodie's was dark and forbidding and sinister and reminded me of the original theme they used from the 60s and 70s.

This? No thank you.

I prefer Mayonessa. Mayonnaise if that's not available. I can tolerate Miracle Whip. Then there's this abomination....

All that's left of the former Edwards county seat, Vance. Love that old directional sign, sadly, not long for this world.

After the fight site, we hit Leaky. Despite being the county seat, I like to say it's so small that downtown only takes up the left side of the road. That also has the added benefit of being true. Not all of Texas' 254 counties HAVE to exist.

Steph's family has land out here. I can see why. It's beautiful.
