Oh, the joys of the World Wide Web. CTE sent us a link to a photo of guys laying astroturf on a median in Texas somewhere around 1971. From there, we ended up finding TexasFreeway.com, which touts itself as "Your public library for Texas freeway history." Having lived most of our time in California, the freeways in Tejas took some getting used to during our ill-fated Austin Adventure. But many of them do have their own special charm to them. The above photograph of Highway 183 was taken not far from our old residence. In fact, we can distinctly recall stumbling down that particular stretch of median nursing a bad heartache with a bottle of worse MD 20/20. No, we are not proud.
