(Since Monday at work promises to be hectic, have Monday's post today)
Per the receipt for my rental car, I drove 765 miles on last week's vacation. That's almost half of my California trip of last year, but the Houston - San Antonio - Austin triangle is smaller than the Northern California area. Herewith, some random thoughts and a bonus picture.
First the picture. Here's a graphic illustration of the rocket equation: All of this stuff below was launched and only the small brown capsule came back:
Random Thoughts
1) Austin, Texas has to be the worst city ever to drive in! The roads wander aimlessly, are poorly-marked and are jammed with traffic.
2) Thanks to Brett Wolfson's recommendation about seeing the USS Texas (more in a later post) I discovered the National Museum of the Pacific War in lovely Fredericksburg Texas. It was well worth the trip.
3) Thanks to Fredericksburg, I discovered Texas wine and Make-in-Texas bourbon. It was an interesting way to spend an afternoon!
