Today we drove across west Texas. There is absolutely nothing of interest here.
I’m out of practice in the realm of opening a bottle without a proper opener
This is how I survived the day’s drive
Stef’s driving be like

Thanks for the glimpse into Stef’s world. I don’t know if so many Puffalumps can ever be unseen, though...

We’ve seen nearly the whole batch before (though maybe she’s acquired more by now):

It’s not hoarding. I do need to buy a big cabinet, though. The humans demand the couch back.

What do we call it, then? Obsessive compulsive collecting? We Opponauts are quite talented at justifying our vices, Stef, and you’re literally a professional Opponaut. No judging here. But out of curiosity, when is the last time you left the house without at least one Puffalump?

Driving through texas. *shudders* I once drove from kansas city to austin and my goodness that drive nearly broke me. If anyone is unsure about driverless cars, have them drive the length of I-35 and they’ll be begging for one.

Forget about the puffalumps, lets talk about the Pootin Beer! I need that in my collection!

You might want to read the label more closely

I’ve only been through Texas twice in my life, but West Texas was my favorite part. I remember driving West from San Antonio on, I think it was US 290 or US 90 (I-10 wasn’t complete in 1976). The first time I did it was at night. Two lanes, no street lights, no traffic whatsoever, stretches of miles and miles where aside from the road there was absolutely no visible evidence of the existence of the human race. Amazing, breathtaking. Afterwards I used to call it “The Great Texas Nothing.”
Then in the middle of all that nothing, I came to a little gas-stop town with a used-book store, where I bought a paperback copy of David Bunch’s
Moderan

Yep. For the poop room

I still need it! lol. Any idea where I can order it from?

This morning! For pictures. (Puff’s photobombed a lot on the trip, and I needed detail pics.)

Pootin has seen a lot of horrors. Unspeakable horrors.

That is an accurate description.

There is a card game my ex had called poop. My team was the Vladimir Poopins. That was one of my fondest memories lol.

I’m going to need at least one third party verification on that claim, Stef.

I drove across Texas on I-10 during our cross-country run last year. To give a bit of perspective, we drove from Jacksonville, Florida to San Diego, California... and Texas accounted for 1/3rd of the miles we traveled.
On the plus side, western Texas + night = best average speed of the entire trip.

Can confirm

Unfortunately the shitty uhaul trailer kept our speeds down

I guess I have to accept that. Although I’m pretty sure she could hide one if she really wanted to.

You ever notice the first thing a hoarder says is “It’s not hoarding?”
