Boy I tell ya it sure is fun to have ants biting your nut sack all night.

My pale, white, honkey-ass torso, that is.

San Antonio: Hot but not humid; a little breezy. Not bad, really. Standing outside Flying J with my shirt off to tan my torso a bit.

There is no mile-marker 666 on I-10 in Texas.

Houston... Hot... Humid... Sucks... Ass...
