Opus 2023-143: On the Road: Highway of Hope

Yesterday I drove north through Texas into Oklahoma.  People are out and moving, at least in this part of the country.  Buc-ee’s, a Texas based maga-gas stop, was bustling.  Even the cops were out.

What encouraged me was a lack of a sense of desperation.  If we ever come to the states going their own way, I think Texas will be okay.  I saw lots of farm land being farmed and cows enjoying the rain soaked grass.  There was also a lot of land that seemed to be fallow.  I don’t know enough about farming to know if it was useful for food production or not but it was fenced and owned.  We may not be able to feed Austin if things go south, but then, I am not sure we would want to feed Austin.  A better plan would be to surround the city, load everyone in cattle trucks and ship them to California.

I think much of the country will go on as usual.  

I found that uplifting.
