Time for a driver swap.
It's easy to forget how long Florida is until you set out driving across it.

Packed and ready to hit the road now.
The dogs are in good hands so no worries there. :)
Fingers crossed for no mechanical issues along the way but as usual we can take any of those as they come. :D

Last month a longtime friend from my hometown found this at a yardsale.
It looks pretty detailed, the pricing suggestions may be out of date but it is good to see a guide approaching the glassware from they view of design.
He said they offered $3 and so he just passed it along to me. :D

First road trip in the '08 Escape starts tomorrow.
I'd really slacked off on all travels so I'm looking forward to this one.
There are a couple of, I'm told, very impressive aviation and armaments museums in North Florida. :)
If my old car performs well and I think it will, out of state next. :D

Waking up to what I can only assume is some fresh horror
Breaking News: The FAA halted all flights to and from the El Paso airport in Texas for 10 days, citing unspecified security reasons.

For a second you think he's gonna say "show love to those who are showing us hate" when the message is actually "show love to our people" and that feels like a significant vibe shirt over the last 10 years

Kind of looking like we may do better tonight. :D
A little better than hours at ~25F at least.
Still a freeze but not as hard.
I'll be up and out to feel it before sunrise in any case.

It's been a while but occasionally a few of these things pass through.

A little disappointed I wasn't tapped to help run any FEMA cold relief spots this year and hope it's because I didn't finish enough online training modules rather than simply leaving more people to tents and campfires this year. :/
Just dipped to 30F and still windy as hell. :|
