We made it more than halfway through Texas on Saturday -- YEAH!
Near the end of the day we came upon a crazy or drunk or very sleepy driver. He was going from one side of the road to the other -- the rumble strips alerted him he was going off onto the shoulder. He almost hit an embankment, but caught it in time and whipped back the other way. One time he didn't catch himself in time and spun out on the left side of the road. Luckily no embankment or cliff wall -- only dirt/grass. We were keeping far enough back that we stopped in time and could stay to one side watching for his truck in all the dust. We thought he would stop and we could go by ... no such luck. He gunned it and lit out again doing about 90mph. He ended up passing a few other vehicles (dangerously) and one of them kept on his tail for a bit. They must have decided to get close to get the license plate and call it in. We got off at exit 400 (Sonora TX) and so had he and a cop came from the other direction, across the median and after him. Thankfully!
