"We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride
~Talking Heads - Road To Nowhere
We are heading out today on a road to nowhere, because surely any road that passes through Garland Texas is a road to nowhere. ;)
Our aimlessness is purposeful however. Our goal: to get the aged van to pass inspection and thus be legal on the roads of this great state of tExxon... er, Texas. ;) Those who know such things say that in order to clear out all the little impulses in the van's little pea brain, we must drive it fifty miles nonstop and then get it inspected and hope for the best.
Along the road to nowhere we say hello to the ferocious Mango kitty, visit a nameless rest stop near Lake Lavon, and put in a totally unpaid promotional endorsement of Mountain Dew. Though if they would like to pay me for this and potential future endorsements, I would be happy to take their money. ;)
