Moving Freely...

Driving from Killeen TX to El Paso was a neat drive.  As I got farther away from Killeen, the trees got shorter (ultimately, turning into bushes), the grass became more brown and the land became flatter and flatter.  I just wonder how people can live so far away for civilization.  Some of ranches I passed were really nice and sitting seemly hundreds of acres of land.  I think the most interesting area was when I nearing Interstate 10, still on Route 190.  You can see how the rain and wind has cut into the land, leaving flat top hills and high plateaus.  Interesting look and it reminds of many westerns I've seen.  I guess there's a beauty to it.  It's just gonna take a while for me to be really interested in it.  Maybe in 3-4 months, when the my world isn't so torn.
