Rambo started! meaning we have started too, this time heading east toward Florida. Just in case I haven't mentioned it before, Texas is a VERY big state. And, when you start in the heart of the state, it takes most of the day to leave it especially when it's windy and you're driving something like Rambo (although if we were driving Tillie the VW we'd probably still be in Texas).The sign is from the County Line BBQ in Austin (their version of "Sweeney Todd" I imagine). Their ribs are particularly good but it does make you wonder...
As were passing Austin I began thinking I was about due for a haircut. However, the "Cut 'N Shoot" salon, rather changed my mind.
The BIG news is that finally, finally, finally all the pieces are together AND working... the little MP3 player, the cassette connection from the radio that enables us to play the MP3 over the radio's speakers, the books on tape recorded on the player on loan from the library. We passed through much of eastern Texas Houston listening to "Dangerous Boys" which made the time go much faster!
Now a plug for local libraries... Even though our Earlville library is very small, the new books on tape they're adding to the collection are recorded on their own MP3 players. Just add earphones or speakers and listen away. No need for a CD or cassette player. In addition, they and the library system they belong to now offer books on tape that can be downloaded directly to your computer. No need to even be in the state when you do it which make it perfect if you happen to be "away" as we are now. You can listen to them from your computer or transfer them to your MP3 player. It's an absolutely GREAT service. So check with your library to see, or hear, what's new for you!
