So I'm In Texas!

After a MUCH longer trip than it should have been, I'm finally in Texas! I didn't leave Charlotte until 2:30, after dealing with the Vet, Fed Ex, the Bank, yada yada yada, I went back to Mom n Dad's and packed up, and got the heck outta Dodge!
Everything was going fine until I got to Atlanta and took I-40 EAST instead of I-40 WEST! After a good hour and a half, I figured things out and turned around! I might have been going the wrong way, but I made good time! But I gave in to the Sandman around 1:30 AM, I was about an hour past Pell City, Ga. I was having trouble keeping my eyes open, so I pulled onto the first exit ramp I saw. I found a closed KFC, let the seat back and snoozed for about an hour. Woke up and my neck was killing me, so I crawled in the back seat with Q. I slept better, but I don't think he liked it none! I woke around 5:30 and took off. I made it to the first rest stop in Miss, and stopped to throw the ball with Q, eat breakfast, brush my teeth, etc., then I was on the road again!
Made it to Vicksburg around 11:15 and stopped to eat and gas up. Went to a good sandwich shop down near the river in Historic Vicksburg. Pretty place, but it looks like it's having problems...LOTS of vacancies in "Historic Vicksburg".
I was in White Oak by 3:45. Doris made fried chicken and mashed potatoes...mmm mmmm GOOD! I took Q for a nice long run around the neighborhood, and now he's REALLY looking forward to a good nights sleep tonight!
Tomorrow Larry's taking me around to all the local brother (4 of them, there's Uncle Dewey, Jim, Ves, and Harry) and we're gonna try to squeeze a trip to the local comic shop, Allen's, I think it's called. If possible, I really want to call Amrita's parent's and get together with them, but that may be pushing it. I'll try to put up some pic's of everybody as soon as I can, and update the blog too, but I'm getting to bed EARLY tomorrow night, so I can wake up and drive Fri morning. Gonna try to get as far as possible...next stop: The GRAND CANYON! I got a long way to go, and a short time to get there, I'm west bound, just watch the Russman run!
