Not so pleasant end to an otherwise excellent adventure

So maybe it was a bad idea to stay another night in Temple. Not only did I forget to set an alarm thereby not leaving nearly as early as I had planned, but I ran into rain, VERY heavy at times, through most of Texas and parts of Oklahoma. It also didn't help that I took the wrong highway back, which meant having to deal with Dallas traffic instead of Ft. Worth traffic. Dallas traffic is much more stress-inducing (especially in rain so heavy you feel on the brink of death), which meant a very non-smooth rest of the trip.


At least the Phils won again today (and it figures Howard hit a homerun that counted), though I got back in time to see the Eagles get nails put in their coffins.

I'm just glad to not be driving anymore. 1,028 miles in 48 hours, while not the most I've driven in such a period of time, is still enough to wear you down pretty good. It will take me days to fully recover.
