entering hell.

my pregnant sister had to stop to pee three times in joplin. i liked this sign. and the name of the chain of gas stations we stopped at. um, seriously?

and then, after a 120 mile "detour" to oklahoma city, yes we missed our exit, we entered the mouth of this beast.

now, we sit in dallas. in our hotel room. after nearly dying several times on the way here and on foot, as we tried to walk up a parking garage ramp.

more to come. happy things, i hope.
