You might call it a run toward the border or a little weekend run, but it is part of what I do and it does haves some benefits, like
Pappa's Oyster Special - $3.95 for a baker's dozen on the 1/2 shell.

It does give you time to be creative and the May pod cast will be "a good 'un".

Sinton, Tx
The Plaza
Whorton, Tx
The Texan
Cleveland, Tx
The Fain
Livingston, Tx

a surviving "TeePee Motel" in Whorton, although they look like they've been on a diet:
Here are some of my new road friends:
