Day 1 - Lubbock, TX - 366 Miles

A wet but uneventful drive here. The only other time I was in Lubbock was on a business trip shortly after starting at TI 38 years ago. That seems to be the right amount of time between visits. I guess my next time here will be to celebrate my 100th birthday.

Tomorrow we end up in Albuquerque, NM. After my usual cursory research, I found it only adds half an hour to the drive to go through Roswell, NM. Though I've watched a lot of the shows on the "incident" for entertainment, I don't really buy into the popular alien crash site theories. I figure an extra half-hour drive for some cheesy photo ops will be worth it. The prevailing opinions on Tripadvisor tend to disagree. A typical comment was, "Wasn't worth the waste of time and money and gas but we got the opportunity to do the oil change on the car."

 We'll find out tomorrow.
