A Dim Light Is Still More Powerful Than No Light At All

---

This husband and I…

Enjoyed an easy breezy last leg into the heart of Texas…left before dawn…traffic was minimal…had breakfast with The Fonz at an adorable little 50’s diner…was able to navigate the side road…with less panic…now having figured out the Texas system for two lane highways…

Made no sense before…to simpleton driver me…driving along…speed limit 60…roads curvy…hilly…then suddenly speed limit amps up to 75…panic driver me…flooring it…then a few miles later…speed limit drops down again…panic driver me…slams on the brakes…

Took two years…two years people…for that light bulb to go on in this old head…so many what the hecks…omg whys…it makes no senses…but it did make sense when the light was working…on the long stretches…speed limit is 60…get close to a passing lane brave drivers can go 75 and pass old lady drivers who have merged right into the slow driver lane…tsk tsk…that wasn’t so hard now was it…

Took a stretch break at our favorite antique shop…and toodled into camp…at a mere 5 miles per hour…

And so it is…we celebrate our safe arrival…those friends who were there to greet us…and that light bulb…finally putting an end to one of our boring endless ponderings and making sense out of something…she insisted…didn’t make sense…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
