Blow out #2

6 hr. drive to Houston from Scott. Grassland, cattle, industry. Unremarkable and somewhat indistinct but for billboards advertising fashion “a little bit gaudy” and how soon a fetus’s heart begins to beat. Just through Beaumont Texas tire in bug blew. 2 down, 6 to go? Kick myself for ignoring dry sidewalls in favor of great tread. Again, angels surrounding me? made it safely to side of road beside ramp with “discount auto” in view. Downside, needed 4 tires (still cheaper than trip to e.r.!) and damage to rear fender from tire 🙁 will begin the hunt for “repair materials” in Houston.
