Yeehaw! We're at a junction!
For the trip back home, I decided we'd take State-60 east (even though the
scariest drive of my life had been along State-60, but that was at 1:00 am
with 50′ visibility and a semitruck doing 100mph (Miles Per Hour) right
behind me—that was then, this is now, in the middle of a sunny day) and at
Yeehaw Junction [1] take US-441 south all the way back home.

inspired by this truck for his film “Duel”] [4] [5]
For such a small one building town [6] it sure was noisy with all the truck
traffic passing through.
Now, before the trip, I was told that US-27 was a very dangerous route to
take, but I found State-60 and US-441 to be way more frightening than US-27
ever was on this trip (maybe because US-27 was two lanes each way the entire
trip, whereas State-60/US-441 were two lanes total through this part of the
state).

As we were driving home, the weather off towards the south east looked rather
ominous, although the threatening rain never did materialize.
[The sky is getting darker] [13] [14] [and darker …] [15] [16]
Now, for this trip, I borrowed Smirk's digital video camera and took about an
hours worth of footage over the past two days.

The intent is to edit the raw footage into a video blog entry that
(hopefully) will be coherent and amusing. We shall see.
