I have to admit that I’ve been humbled here in Kemah by the incredible people we have met, and the generosity of all of them. We met up with our friends, the sugar-cookie-family, for dinner last night, and I really just can’t believe the goodwill that they heaped upon us. … Read More
Texas BBQ
Bum friends had a BBQ today with us as the guests of honor. I have to say that I’m not really the most social guy in the world—the website is really my social outlet outside of my family, and even that obviously revolves solely around them—but these Bumfuzzle get-togethers always … Read More
Galveston
We drove Louisiana backroads yesterday, taking whatever squiggle led towards the coast. We eventually hit the brown water, then turned right to run west.

Natchez State Park
We had crazy rain overnight and even went so far as to leave the bus for a couple of hours early in the morning to hide out in the office and watch the Weather Channel. Fortunately the tiny hail didn’t turn into the baseballs they saw just to our west. … Read More
