The road is out there.  Harsh, long, most often straight and almost always hot. I hope there are no floods or crazy tornado inducing storms this year.  We have driven fast through places that you couldn't stop because the freeway is the only thing above water.  We have had to detour miles and hours out of our way because the freeway was no longer above water but just disappeared after the interchange into a new lake that had sprung up overnight.  I have parked next to the National Guard vehicle and gotten coffee from a MacDonalds that was still open.  We have driven between storm cells that were generating lightening every couple of seconds as the skies grew dark and the rain swept in, bringing hail and winds.
But the road is still out there, calling to us.  Making us go again.

See you on the road,
Jason
