When asked if I wished I could talk to my now deceased parents again, I said I would rather spend a day talking with my also deceased grandparents as there is so much more history I would like to learn from them.
I got pulled over for impeding traffic a quarter of a mile from the exchange. I was in an 84 Toyota Diesel pickup that had a top speed of 65 mph with the topper on. Traffic was running 75+. I got a warning and I explained my Toy truck had a max speed of 52 mph in a 20 second quarter mile and the interchange would be a challenge with a police escourt.
And oh the fights we had When my brother and I got him mad He'd get all boiled up and he'd start to shout And I knew what was coming so I tuned him out And now the old man's gone, and I'd give all I own To hear what he said when I wasn't listening To my old man
Put it here ... I can't wait to read it. I have the Captcha turned OFF but blogger insists it be there. You should be able to bypass it.

DeleteThat interchange in Dallas is called the "Mixmaster". Really. And I drive it every day. Dallas traffic sucks.
ReplyDeleteAnd the problem down there is when you take a wrong exit, if you don’t use GPS, you’ll drive for an hour before you realize it.

ReplyDeleteI have no problem with the mix master downtown but I drive through there often. The outta staters are the problem.
SL, I ran into them too.

ReplyDeleteWhen my brother and I got him mad
He'd get all boiled up and he'd start to shout
And I knew what was coming so I tuned him out
And now the old man's gone, and I'd give all I own
To hear what he said when I wasn't listening
To my old man

Matthew, I was lucky and listened a lot.
