Dog is My Co-Pilot


Well, actually, Shelly is Bob's co-pilot. Smith was in my backseat. We stopped last night in Sikeston Missouri, site of Lambert's Home of the Throwed Roll. You can look it up. (Evidently, there are several Lambert's Cafes. We did not eat at any of them because they don't allow dogs.)

Bob is pictured here doing serious car things in scenic Sikeston. There was a Piggly-Wiggly and a Liquor Store/gas station. I think we might not have been at the best end of Sikeston.

Tonight we are in Garland Texas, a part of the Dallas/Ft. Worth sprawl. It is not as scenic.

Garland is north of Denton, which is where I lived for many a year. It's not the most beautiful place in Texas, but there's a beauty there (but it takes years of training to see it). Have a good trip--you've only got about 1/2 a day and you'll be in Austin.

I kept seeing ads for Lambert's on my cross-country trip last winter, but I never went in and I never did figure out what a Throwed Roll was.

Yeah, they had one near where I went to school in the Ozarks. It was sort of like Cracker Barrel if I remember rightly. They simply throw you rolls to eat for dinner, which you're supposed to catch. I don't think you're supposed to catch the rest of dinner, i.e. soup and salad.

Hey, you're in the Missouri Bootheel, where I set much of The Rift.

Try to avoid earthquakes while you're there.

There's a great photo taken from the top of the smokestack on the Sikeston power plant, showing the fault line zigzagging across this perfectly flat country until it passes right under the plant.

Land is cheap on an earthquake fault, that's why they build so many power plants there.

Dubjay, when we passed through New Madrid, I kept thinking, 'Not my fault.'

My fault is the Balcones Fault, which hasn't been active for 500,000 years. (Austin is at the edge of hill country, right where the fault is.
