Don't live in NEW MEXICO (day 2 of my travels)

What a day.....Did it even happen?
I am writing this after driving for 12 and a half hours straight, please excuse and stutters, slurs, or bursts of outrage.

We left La Quinta at 8:30 am after having a very nice, complimentary, breakfast (those nice la quinta people!). It was freakin' freezing yet again and low and behold there was ice on the windshield. We scraped that mess off and hit the road with only one thing in mind....get farther.
We quickly came across New Mexico and found at that it is quite possibly the nastiest place in the U.S. If you ever wanted to go there.....steer clear. Albuquereque isn't as great as it sounds! I can't say much more except that it was the first time I had eat SONIC BURGER in about 6 months. As we were leaving the city we saw a sign that said "BILLY THE KID CAME THROUGH THIS TOWN.....WE THINK". Which brings something to my attention; Why the heck would you create I sign out of something you think happened! You either know Billy came through or not. Anyways, the scenery quickly changes once you get to Texas and it's a delightful yet flat change.
We drove and drove and drove some more and came across the Western Hemisphere's second largest cross. It stands a full 190 ft and is about 19 stories high (if you count in stories). It was truly an awesome sight. At the base of the cross was the story of Jesus last hours of life. It then wraps around the side to reveal an empty tomb. More pictures will be included on my facebook later on next week. We continued to drive to Oklahoma City, OK where I am sitting right now, in another LA QUINTA, typing my summarized life to you guys. All in all it was a good but long day of driving. Saw alot of different things and basically vegged out watching white road lines fly by.
Winter here is definitely not the same in LA!
This short change yet beneficial change ,in my life, is gonna be a great experience. I will continue to keep you posted and stay tuned for tomorrow...LIVE FROM NASHVILLE.....oh snaps!!
Oh yea and thanks for all of you who attended the going away party and showed some love. You all are great and I truly appreciate everything you guys said and did. Mad props to Ian and Lucia for pretty much setting it up. You guys are rockin.
ALRIGHT
PEACE
