cars, guns, booze and weddings

a good grouping if ever there was one:

1,100 miles (OK, more like 1,150), five stops at gas stations and about $100 in fuel (and better fuel economy than the government claims).

One kindly shared .22 magnum rifle, a box of shells, three dead gophers - including one in spectacular fashion - and about 15 startled ones.

Bud Light, Beltian White and several varieties of wine.

One married sister-in-law and a new brother-in-law!
