Tonight, I am blogging from deep in the Heart of Texas. Or West Central Texas, as the case may be.
I'm glad I'm able to blog at all. Getting online at this hotel was bloody irritating. The wifi here is fucked up, and when I tried calling the number for tech support on the sign-in page, I got some bullshit service that would give me the telephone number if I payed them $4. Naturally, I called bullshit on that, and went down to the front desk, where I confronted the hipster desk clerk with the problem. He was very kind and gave me the number for tech support, who were also very nice and surprised to hear about my trouble with the other number, and then they got me online. Nevertheless, I was not pleased as this is the first time I've had problems with hotel wifi on this trip.
Anyway, Texas is big, beige and boring. I left NM this morning at 6:00 AM. Los Cruces came and went in the blink of an eye, while El Paso went on forever. After El Paso, there was just flat desert, interspersed with the occasional cow field. I suppose I could add that a significant portion of I-10, east of El Paso smells like cowshit, but that may not be a constant.
Anyway, I'm in Ozona which is about a day's travel from Santa Fe. After Santa Fe, the next city is Houston and then I'm crossing the border into Louisiana. I'm looking forward to that, as I'm sick to death of desert. I'd like to see a real tree, not cacti and scrub brush. Also, I didn't realize that I-10 went through New Orleans. So, something to look forward to!
