Sunday was pretty uneventful. Just driving through hundreds of miles of prairie, occasionally interrupted by giant towers burning off gas in giant plumes of fire.
Today, I picked up HK at Love Field, not at DFW like he originally said. Only got lost 3 times navigating the maze of highways around Fort Worth. My bladder almost burst as I raced into the Terminal Building. After a relief stop, I went to the rental counter to find HK. Except for no HK at the rental counter.
We were to meet at the rental counter because I needed to be present to sign him onto the rental agreement. I noticed a text on my phone saying he had gotten on the bus to the rental office rather than meet at the rental counter as agreed. HK explained he couldn't find it. It was one of the first things I saw as I went to the baggage carousels.
So, I picked up HK and we headed to Shreveport. We stopped in Tyler, Texas for lunch in homage to Dr. Hogly Wogly's Tyler, Texas BBQ in Los Angeles. I never even considered I would be in the actual Tyler, TX but it was all over HK"s radar. And the Bodacious BBQ was pretty good. If I wanted to I could have purchased a couple gallon jugs of their BBQ sauce. Or a quart of honey. I ended up with a hat.
I was getting a lot of messages from sister and father, worried that I was somehow in danger from the Baton Rouge shooting. If you check the map, Baton Rouge is about a 3 and a half hour drive south of Shreveport. My father continues to remain nervous about my imperiled state.
We had dinner at Brother's Seafood which was pretty good. It's claim to fame was that it is the longest continually owned african american restaurant in America. And they had good gravy.
After a quick stop at the Walmart, only super market around, HK and I called it a night. HBO continues to prove why it is such a bad channel. So does CNN.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
