how's it going today? Hey, it's going really well. You went to see our sister in Texas.

That's a whole other podcast episode in itself.

But so you went to Austin, kind of an unexpected trip, and then on the way back, you drove

through Mineral Wells, Texas.

Well, let me back up just a little bit on that.

I would say about four years ago, maybe, I was driving, and for some reason I can't even remember now, I was taking kind of super backroads down to Austin to see my sister. And I love to do that. And I bet a lot of our listeners are that same way, that if I don't have to be in a huge hurry, I'm going to jump off the interstates and I'm going to find two lane roads. Because it takes you through those little towns and you see these little places that you would never see, right? Little junk shops,

little things, little stuff, and meet people you would never meet or whatever if you've got the

time, right? Like one time I was driving, I think I was going to Nashville from Burlington, Iowa,

and I was driving down the interstate 55, and I was like, I hate this so bad.

I said, I'm getting off the next exit, and I'm going to find my way there. And that's what I did.

Like, I just got up the next exit and two-lane it all the way down there. So I love doing that.
