We just passed a sign that said "Hope, 1 Mile." This is reassuring.
It's that time of day when, if you're driving due west, the sun is
pointed at you like a searchlight. The roadside shadows are deep, the
traffic is light, we are crossing what's left of Arkansas on our way
to starry Texas. I am sorry, you folks back home, about the blizzard
that will seal you inside this weekend. May you go west real soon.
