I am in Comfort, Texas. Just the name of it pulled me off the highway,
because I need some comfort right now - ya know... I get these thoughts
about Mom, little things she said, looks she had...and my heart cries
out...
I stopped in Comfort, Tx at the Dollar General Store, bought myself a
book to read, two birthday cards for Kelly...some shampoo and a bottle
of orange juice.
Yey Comfort! I'm in the Comfort Zone! Gawd its such a small town...I
could spit and I'd be through it.
Based on what I've seen traveling west away from San Antonio there's
going to be one hellava sunset tonight and I get to see it. The land...its
not even that spectacular yet and its still blowing me away.
I have to remember, right now, this moment...it's 6:16 in the evening, the
sun is beginning to make its way down, the clouds are magnificent...the
scenery is rolling and rocky and green and grey and I want to remember
just how happy I am right now. It may not be that way tomorrow, but
right now...its pretty good.
On the frontage of Sonora, headed toward...somewhere, fill in the blank,
oh my god, the sun is BEAUTIFUL tonight! Its what I love about Texas,
its what I'm going to love about everywhere else I'll go in the west, in the
southwest...-
I'm still moving, still going, I'm taking photos, enjoying the view, the
frontage road, love that I'm not on I-10...oh, what's that? Halliburton?
Didn't know they had facilities here...I'm headed toward the Caverns of
Sonora...I'm the only one on this road...
