It’s been a nearly perfect day on the road. It rained in Dallas for 5 straight days but now we’re driving Route 66 in gentle sunshine. The weather’s been great so far on our trip, not too hot but we might be baking in the stretch before us thru’ NM, AZ and NV. Just stopped in Clinton, OK at the Route 66 Museum and cranked up the volume on our “Route 66” song off the Cars soundtrack to go along with the landscape. Compared with being cooped up in suburbia, the open road before us seems a glorious freedom.

Psalm 119: 41, 45 (The Message)
Let your love, God, shape my life
with salvation, exactly as you promised; …
And I’ll stride freely through wide open spaces
as I look for your truth and your wisdom;

We’re heading to Amarillo to eat juicy steaks at the Big Texan restaurant.

Recommendation: read the Lonely Planet’s Road Trip Route 66 (that work gave me.)
