Get off my lawn!

Rick, looking at the routes for your trip it looks like you are going through Dallas and on to El Paso. One thing to remember is even though you are never going across the border you will likely come across some border crossing check points. They are all over south Texas. Just a heads up.
A friend of mine recently drove down to El Paso from Dallas and he said his wife was freaking out because the big checkpoint ahead looked like they were crossing the border. She did not want to go to Mexico and he kept telling her they were still in the USA and they were not going across a border, it was just a check point. They were just waived through but some other cars were getting inspected.

Interesting, thank you Glen. I guess I better bone up on my rights to have a spoon or two in the car. Don't want any of that headache

Shouldn't be an issue in Texas if you've got your permit. I think if you don't have a gun in the car, they loan you one for your stay!

Most of the time they wave you through. Sometimes they ask where you are coming from and going to.
I got stopped only one time and I had the Cobra and they were curious about it. When moving to Ca I had my lunch inspected because I had packed a banana in it.

Oh, you can let Beth do your makeup like your avatar, but the necklace is a no no.

I knew that, but I figured it would be a long commute for the poor guy just to do your makeup. I thought Beth would be a good second choice. Now if he comes help you move, he can do a proper job for you.

He better come to visit, we have been discussing it for a while now. He wants to come here before I move and use my house as a base of operation to heckle the white house and generally cause trouble. Yeah I am not too keen on that idea

Just got an email that I am supposed to go pickup my iPhone 6.
Won't be able to make it today, waiting for Mom's new nurse.

Yea, I figured it might be possible that maybe you just might bring a spoon on the trip, maybe. Just be cautious about it in that part of the country. They act like there might be a few illegal aliens in the area. That is pretty much a fact of life with the nice (not) secure borders we have.

Live bait is best for most fish in any water... I'm just too damned lazy to catch and deal with it...

Have friends and family that are fishing guides, all fresh water though.
Aunt and Uncle used to teach trout fishing, wrote books, and had a lodge just up river from yellowstone.
