I’m driving through what seems to be the biggest state in the world. The road is pretty boring and the fact that the radio doesn’t work doesn’t help either, I will probably lose my voice by the time I’m home because I’m covering every song that I know.

I spent last night at the rest stop, slept like a baby thanks to a completely flat and spacious bed in my newly acquired car.  When I got up at 6 in the morning and climbed out my sleeping bag, I realized that it was really cold. I’m actually quite surprised that iced tea that I had in a cup holder didn’t turn into ice. By the time I ran to the bathroom to wash my sleepy face, I froze my buttocks off. Cold water and even colder dryer woke me up better than any Red Bull would. My 6:15 I was on the road, shivering and waiting for the heater to kick in.

Thanks to generous Texas speed limit of 80mph I already covered 250 miles today. Going fast really affects my gas mileage; it dropped at least 4-5 mpg. By the way the further I drive away from Houston, the more expensive gas gets. It’s at least 70 cents more here in Van Horn, the place where I’m eating my disguisting McDonalds breakfast.

The car runs great; if it wasn’t for non working stereo I would call it poetry in motion. The winds seem lower than yesterday; the car doesn’t get thrown around that much. OK, time to fill it up and hit the road again.
