Texas is a pretty big place. This was confusing when I got to the UK, because the scales of distance are no longer intuitive. I have an in-born (inbred??) idea of how long it takes to drive from El Paso to Houston or from Dallas to Austin. Moving to England screwed all this up - not to mention the additional complication of having to drive on the other side of the road. So I had tomake this map to get a handle on things.
After this, I had it all figured out. It made sense. Before I saw the lay of the land before my very eyes, I had no idea that the UK is such a tiny little place. And next time I contemplate a quick little jaunt up to Edinburgh, I'll imagine I am going from Lubbock to San Antonio - though the journey will surely be more picturesque.
