Just Like Having a Tardis

When you travel with me distance is never an issue and if you lay back and close your eyes, your where you want to be when you open then again---hey , it's a fact, 550 miles--sorted.

So yesterday was a trip horizontally across Texas from East at Dallas to the West,  past Lubbock - home of Buddy Holly---What do you mean "Who" - Fricking Buddy Holly, rock star that's who---- Him Below that's who---

At 16, I was quite like him---I was---well I had dark glasses anyway--

So we went to Roswell--home of the Alien crash site , if you believe that stuff-- Me?, well maybe not so much before I went there but I do believe that looking at some of the locals , I would have to say that ET and his mates have been breeding like rabbits.

Below are a few photos of things of interest on the way on yesterdays trip---

 We started singing some Beatle songs yesterday, but the McCartney , long and winding road didn't seam appropriate when the majority of the I-380 looks as straight as this.

There are variety of symbols in Texas, most of them huge like this one of the mighty Texas Steer--we definitely saw a few of these while there.

Lynda has had a habit of counting railway carriages and I think her record is around 150 on one train load with three engines front and back. Yesterday though she was counting Nodding Donkeys like the one below---

She stopped at around 5,500 and they are only what we could see alongside the road---the Americans and in particular , the Texicans are pumping for all they are worth--Water, Gas and Oil doesn't matter which , if it make a buck then pump it up--I can feel a song title there somewhere.

So much of the drive was a bit like this, so it just becomes a blur.

 And of course, you start thinking all sorts when there is nothing interesting to watch. Like getting into conspiracy theories--- Like the fact that it would be very easy for the government to set up dummy properties like this one---the LE Ranch--on both sides of the 380 for about ten milesgoing out as far as the eye , or anything else could see.

It is a fact that the US Government built all manner of secret Nuclear bunkers and facilities in the 50's and 60's, so how easy would it be to expand that to incorporate alien life and ships. I swear I am a born sceptic, someone who like logic and not something that has no real evidence or substance but, man, I think something has taken place--well using logic, why isn't it possible---if we can go up into space, why cant they have been here.

Anyway, very much more on this in tomorrow's blog.

 So we got here, started panicking about a hotel before realizing that we had crossed a time zone so could put the clock back an hour.

 

Not the greatest place in the world and the Best Western had the worst Wifi I have had so far in the states which is why I am writing this on the evening and not first thing this morning.

 

So we drove to Tombstone but decided to stay in a town called Sierra Vista, Arizona, and found a Vietnamese restaurant to eat in --very nice.

 

Gonna sleep now but will be back soon
