There was a sign on I40 westbound not long ago that had the Buc-ees sign

and below that 'Only 283 miles', which I thought a bit excessive.  

Unless, it seems, they made it for Nobunaga.

If you haven't seen any of this guy's work, it's pretty good.  Travelling around the US and reporting on good things, like chips, salsa and queso that automatically comes at Mexican restaurants in the south, and biscuits and gravy, and other stuff.  I did not know he had enough to make a book, which I will find on Kindle Unlimited and read.

Speaking of books, I haven't been reading as much as usual, but some things I have that I've been happy with:
Larry Correia's Monster Hunter Files, Vol. 2, pretty good.

No Game for Knights, short story collection from various authors, also good.

I've mentioned David Drake's collection of Old Nathan stories, which I very much like.  Well, ran across 
The Cunning Man not long ago, and liked it.  Character reminds me somewhat of Nathan Ridgeway, and I have to wonder if they got a push in the right direction from his stories?

Correia's started another series with Academy of Outcasts, a fine start on a fantasy series.

And Raconteur Press has published lots of short-story collections from many authors, take a look at them.

And now, I've actually got to start using this arm and getting some stuff cleaned up.
