Got away with family to Houston for a few days, supposed to be in 80s here, 30s back in Iowa.

16 1/2 hours, Cedar Rapids to Houston.

I am 130 miles north of Houston. They are guessing 85 for today.

We came down 45 from Dallas?

Drove this straight, KC to Dallas to Houston, will return a different way and stop overnight at Osage Beach MO, close to Old.

Living in eastern Nebraska, but having travelled to the west end of the Panhandle and beyond many times, I never fail to notice how much the weather and terrain both change over the 450 miles from Omaha to Sidney and Scottsbluff.

Even traffic. Going west, it's noticeable how much the traffic thins out west of Grand Island, and gets thinner going farther west.

I'm faced with it every year going from Michigan to Florida to Michigan again

From where I live, 50 miles west or south usually gains a week of growing in the spring and fall.

Heading back on the 1st, will give you a wave.

Billy Shafer · Dec 29, 2016

Well I could meet you at the gas station if you stop for gas. If you keep going watch out for speed traps. Once you pass Ennis. The highway to Dallas is full of them. Palmer is the worst. Hides by or on top of the overpass. Loves to stop out of state folks. Wilmer and Hutchins are next. Just stay under the speed limit.

David G · Dec 29, 2016

I am hoping the cops are all hung over on the 1st, will probably just wave, can make it from Houston to OK on tank.

Billy Shafer · Dec 29, 2016

Well if you see a truck on the hill. Coming into Centerville. That will be me. I park there and watch the show on the highway. Plenty of idiots to watch. I don't think the guy in Palmer ever sleeps.

Wonder how many Kansas's got stopped going home. They played Texas A-M last night in Houston.

Hope to leave Houston by 9, will get us into Osage beach by about 9 in evening.
