The cat exploded in his sleep last night. No one had gone to bed yet. Sitting around in the evening, email on the computer, television going, cat asleep in the chair next to me. I didn’t poke him with a stick. No loud noises. His alarm could only have been internally generated. A momentary night terror perhaps. The result was an immediate explosion from a quietly sleeping cat, to an upright alert frightened animal with wild eyes and claws fully engaged. He never left the chair, just rearranged himself and it. Left some serious claw marks in the leather. Glad he wasn’t in my lap.
Sierra Vista
Moved to Sierra Vista. Looking for a place to spend a few days. The weather is good. The wind seems to have moved on.
Benson
A three-state day. That’s more like it. Texas, New Mexico, Arizona. A headwind day. Dust storms at Willcox. Kept going. Stopped at Benson for the night. Wind is still high here, but not so much dust in the air.
Van Horn
Happy Valentine’s Day, all. Nice day on the road today. We’re in the process of leaving Texas. You know how that is, it doesn’t happen just because you decide to do it. You have to be determined to make it out of Texas, and hold that determination for days before it actually happens. So here we are in West Texas. Van Horn. Tomorrow we drive another hundred forty miles to finish the “leaving Texas project”, then on through New Mexico and into Arizona.
New Braunfels
New Braunfels, Texas. A long day, waiting for the motorhome repair shop to do its work. Swapped out the driver and passenger chairs, fixed a couple cabinet latches, and did an oil change. Thirty-two quarts of oil. Separation anxiety for me, staying away while they do their work. Relief when finally reunited with the coach, even at rush hour. Skipped across the top right quadrant of the San Antonio Area, and got north and west of town before dark. Buckhorn RV Resort in Kerrville.
Tomorrow… west on Interstate 10.
