Home Again

train

Back home again after a pleasant Thanksgiving.

We drove up to Bertram, TX yesterday morning.  Had Thanksgiving meals there and in Liberty Hill, then headed for home after sleeping late this morning.

There was an interesting (but not enjoyable) episode in Giddings on the way home.  An 18-wheel tanker truck apparently stopped at a red light on US 290 with its tail end still on the railroad tracks.   A south-bound freight clipped it, sending it into an auto parts store.  As far as I know, nobody was hurt and damage was minimal, but it did have the highway totally shut down.  Volunteer firemen directed us onto a detour which eventually led us to a street where we could cross the tracks, but the back-up was remarkable, and added almost an hour to our trip home.
