As in Longview, Texas. We got a solid motel recommendation from a random guy in a truck stop and stopped here. I have been doing the laundry for a few hours; got my current stash of footage downloaded from the camera, and still hope for a bath before I sleep.

It rained all day and the people around us on the I-20 drove like they were insane.

But come sundown we were on the edge of West again and there were only a couple of innocent looking white clouds.

Now there’s your good omen.
