Six Days on the Road...

 ...and I'm a gonna make it home tonight.

Don't ya head north of The Woodlands...

 

...without a pistol in your boot.

 

 

 

 

I"m Gonna Hire a Wino...

After twenty years and 3M+ page views, it's time to take an indefinite break from the Texas Swimming Blog.

Y'all may see a random post down the road, but don't count on those.

This email will still work, so feel free to send one if you'd like.

I'll try to pop on once in a while to dump spammy comments.  No need to wait on me, though - let me know if/when you spot something that needs to be removed.

If I have time, I'll try to keep the links updated as well.

Thanks for your readership, tips, support, and comments!
