We drove to Midland today. The most notable thing about the trip is the change. You start out in the hill country, the nicest place in Texas. Over the course of about 200 miles it gradually turns into west Texas. This is the Texas that Sherman was going to rent out while he lived in hell.
Midland is a cool little city (100,000). It has several interesting things in it like the petroleum museum and the CAF museum. But we've already seen those. So when we got here we just set up and then surfed.
I made a special trip to HEB to pick up a case of Lonestar. It's about my last opportunity since we'll be leaving Texas in less than 48 hours. The gas station there had diesel for $2.75. I bet we don't see that price again for a long time, it ever. I do love hope and change.
On the way to the HEB I saw something that I thought I'd never see again in my life. It was an operating drivein theater. With three screens no less. It was a little early, but it seemed to be fairly well attended on a Friday night.
We lucked out on the weather too. Yesterday they had some serious thunderstorms. There's mud and puddles all over. Today there was supposed to be a strong headwind. There was, but it started after we got to the park.
Tomorrow we'll go shooting. We got lucky. There was a shoot last weekend and another next weekend. There's nothing this weekend.
