![[TX-97 West near Fowlerton Texas in 1978]](97_w_texas_1978_1.jpg)
This is TX-97 near Los Angeles, Texas to US90 near Sanderson, Texas. Part of this trip cost us $3,000 in auto repairs on a BMW.

For those of you who know me guess what: My personal Covid 19
update is
that in 2020 I am doing fine and I have not been anywhere near
getting
this virus. I hope my site helps you while you are home! I
hope you are
all well! I am getting through this by listening to my scanner
and my
shortwave radios. Also I found out that the kids I knew in
public schools that were seriously made fun of have gotten
much worse
as they have gotten older. About 15 years ago I got roped into
being around this guy I had heard really bad things about in
the 1990s. It ends up this guy had hypochondriasis and he
tried to snow me that he snooped around in a doctor's office
to find out what they said about him. Yeah, right. The guy was
basically a real life George Costanza and he had family like
that kind of TV character also. And he had fake heart attacks
and life flight rides for nothing. I have not seen him in
years fortunately. Yes he did look like George Costanza and he
was the kind of guy who asked to borrow your credit card. I
never loan that kind of thing out.
No joke I have only been sick once since 2009. I was sick one
day in
2009 and I read up on Albolene workouts. I tried it and I got
more
recovered in 30 minutes than I would in two weeks! I did not
get sick
after that till 2020 thanks to Albolene workouts.
August 2020 update: I took the following photo while on a ride
to see a neighborhood in my city that previously had a fire
evacuation warning. The warning was taken off a few days
before I did this ride. The fire is 15 miles past the highest
ridge line in the photo. Here are two out of town fire trucks
in the parking lot. To the left is a fire fighter from the
Livingston, California fire department. He is in front of
their fire truck. Then to the left there is a fire truck from
Big Sky, Montana. They all stayed in the La Quinta in my town
since they were far away from home. I pulled into their
parking lot to see what all this was. Also I do not live in a
fire evacuation area. However I am saying that for quite a
while I have lived in an area bombarded by a scary amount of
smoke during the summer. This was the first time the fire
itself was 15 miles from where I live. The smoke was actually
not much worse than a lot of the others we have had over the
years. I knew I was not going to have to get out of here at
all however I did have to plan something for the first time
since I moved to California. I was going to stay in a motel
near where I lived in my early college years. I am afraid of
how bad the Mt. Hamilton hills will look after this fire is
over. Some of my photos are the way 130 used to be and I just
updated some of the photos also. Check my whatsnew page.
