my guy stu and i:

stimulated the oil trade;

pulled over to look at golf ball-sized hail;

didn't see the alamo;

stayed with jeremiah at his mattress-factory-loft,
which was around the corner from this gem;

visited the legendary robert lovelett,
who gave stu a lovely drawing before inserting contact lenses;

had the best day of our lives;

ate breakfast at Whataburger (with the blues brothers);

had to look at antiques in a house in waldo, arkansas;

got to check out a bunch of awesome old cars
and rusting tools and parts in the yard of the house;

searched for tornadoes!;

found lots of lightning!;

also found true love, the only love that matters;

and a bunch of bison;

and stopped by the post office in gary, indiana.

a lot of writing and drawing and reading and driving and other stuff happened, too. it was fun.
