    After the Sun Bowl, I drove my tents car from El Paso to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico across the Great Salt flats and through the Guadalupe mountains. Used up all my cellphone battery taking pictures, and blew out my tire just as I left the caverns.

    That meant driving all the way back (about 160 Miles) in the dark, on a doughnut that could not exceed 50 mph.

    To say that I was unpopular with my fellow eastbound travelers is an understatement. When 80-90 mph comes up on 50 mph through twisty two-lane roads, you can sense the hostility.

    Thanks, and hope the morning finds you more upbeat.

    (Noticed btw that I was westbound going back to El Paso, not East. And it was a rental car, not a tents car. Late weekend posts often tend to lack in accuracy for some reason;.

    And here we'd all begun thinking that you had taken on an exciting second job with the circus to pay off your bingo addiction debts.

    Back to the mundane...

    I did not follow my Midterm Elections ban. I am imposing a double time out on myself now before I get one from Jason.

    Very much doubt that would happen.

    Well, an infraction - not a time out.

    Infractions over infarctions...

    Is an infraction part of the double secret probation?

    Most of my infractions have been undeserved.

    In other news, I had a Pop Tart this morning. First I've had in probably a year. Strawberry, obviously.

    Did that cause you to get an infraction?

    What I thought were strawberry Pop Tarts ended up being raspberry. I'm mildly disappointed.
