Have I mentioned that we see the Texas flag at least 100 times a day?  It is everywhere, usually not hanging like this one but straight out in a good, stiff wind.  It has been an incredible, unexpected weather event, this Texan wind, making for some darned unpleasant riding.  Today's ride was a sort of mix of cross winds, head and tail winds, but so strong as to make you hang onto your handlebars for dear life, wreaking havoc on muscles you forget you had.  We are well stocked with  Ibuprofen.  This vineyard was in Sisterville, where we also got to pet some very curious burrows, above.
