ElicBxn @LadyDuck I never had to drive in New York, but I saw the traffic, so... and I was a kid when I was in Washington D.C. but it looked bad too.

ElicBxn @LadyDuck rush hours, even in smaller cities, can be crowded. Austin isn't a smaller city anymore, it is the 11th largest city in the U.S. and 4th largest in Texas. I'll be driving through Fort Worth, now the 5th largest city in Texas and 13th in the U.S. and...

ElicBxn @LadyDuck yeah, my folks with another couple drove around Europe for a couple of weeks, those of us in the States, especially in western states, aren't used to narrow twisty roads until you get off major roads.

ElicBxn @LadyDuck I tend to consider a 100 mile trip 2 hours, so, since Wichita is 550 miles, maybe a little less since I live on the north side of Austin, I think it'll be 10-11 hours. The maps say about 8+ hours, however, since I will need to gas up at least once...

ElicBxn @CarolDM life is dangerous, you live until you die, honestly, since I've totaled two cars, one on the interstate, I've figured that I can't live hiding in my house. They want me, they have to come and get me. I know of a case where a teen was shot in her...

ElicBxn I agree, and if I couldn't drive on the interstate the whole way, I might be more worried. I got to thinking too, on my way back contacting Connie's cousin, who lives around Waco, and drop off a few of the things she asked about and I've never had a chance to...

ElicBxn That's somewhat less than 300 miles a day or 6 hours. My roommate's sister works for the contractor who has the Post Office's truck contract. She drives about that 5 days a week and still sleeps at home every night. I might liked a job like that once upon a...

ElicBxn Durango Colorado is just over 900 miles, I did that in two days. Wichita Kansas is about 550 miles and while the map says about 8 hours and 20 minutes, it doesn't need gas or to pee... or even eat. I still think I could do it in a day.

ElicBxn Thanks for that observation. I agree, even though I hadn't thought of it, it does always seem to make me more content.

ElicBxn I have had tension headaches and they aren't any fun. However, this migraine I've had since shortly after they woke me up yesterday - I was sedated for a test yesterday.
