I was the recipient of the following string of IM text from my dear friend The Pooh-Bear, who posts at An American Bear in Iraq:

Pooh Bear: I'm about to head to bed, but I thought I'd tell you I liked your recognition of Thrall, Thorndale, Rockdale....the Hwy 79 gauntlet
Pooh Bear: My mom is actually looking into a job in Rockdale...so that nice little town may be home soon for my parents...
Pooh Bear: If you ever get the chance to stay in Rockdale for no good reason...the Rainbow Inn is the coolest little motel/inn
Pooh Bear: Okay...I will hunt you down later...
Pooh Bear: pooh out.

What a fag.

I think he had to stop at that place because in his senior year he had sleep apnea and couldn't drive the 2 hours from College Station to Puh-Flugerville without stopping.

I'm not sure why they call it the Hwy 79 gauntlet. I didn't see too many speed traps, not like the one I hit in Shavano Park back in March. In Shavano Park the cops travel in pairs, up and down NW Military Hwy. Speeding drivers beware!

However, they have excellent service at the courthouse and people are now able to take Defensive Driving online. The last time I got a moving violation, in high school, I had to actually drive from Whererupeisfrom to San Antonio and sit IN a classroom for 6-8 hours. The online thing is much more convenient.

I did mine at DefensiveDriving.com (no link because no $$$, yo!), was startled to find that the judge near and dear to every Aggie's heart, Judge Boyett, did the introduction video. And Judge Boyett was wearing makeup.
