Notes from the Road

Passing through Waco, headed into the freezing maw of north Texas winter weather, thinking frozen north. The traffic on the interstate crawled to a stop. Middle of an afternoon, clear skies, no rain, no reason.

Construction.

My entire life, 35 (Interstate 35) has been under construction.

I blame Magnolia. The home flippers, redo experts? Stars of HGTV? Yeah, that’s where houses are still cheap. The town’s main industry is Baylor University?

While sitting in yet another medical waiting room, the HGTV series was running in the background. Up-do, re-do, and house prices in rural Texas.

Traffic. It’s all their fault. Joanna and Chip, yeah, their fault. Too bad they only do houses, and not highways.

Notes from the Road

Nobody should be forced to spend time in Waco — against his or her own will.

You choose to live there? It is a nice place. But make it a choice, not camped out on the freeway.
