Almost everything you ever wanted to know about The Freeways of the Metroplex is on TexasFreeway.com, but I couldn't find a traffic report there, just static content. How boring! I finally found a live feed on a local TV station's website, thus skillfully weaving Michelle (via her trusty Toyota Prius) out of Dallas and into points west.
I envy Michelle! Today she was exploring - specifically, for Odessa's (unofficial?) mascot: Jack Ben Rabbit. I found some hare-raising online articles from June 2002 and June 2004 - the stories are in the Odessa American Online. Jack Ben Rabbit had been "borrowed" from its original Lincoln Street location a few times, so The Powers That Be moved him permanently to a more secure location (?) at the Ector County ISD's Administration Building. Recently, miniature ("art is in the eye of the beholder") replicas of Jack Ben Rabbit have appeared around Odessa.
Sadly, Beta (the Wonder Dog) is in mourning; her New Best Friend (who concocted Beignet Liver for her, and Electric Green Key Lime Pie for Gene Bob) has left, in search of adventure (described above).
