Nelson and I are here in Texas. It took us four days to drive, but it was really worth it. We're near Wimberly on 25 acres, and today I got over my ever present of barking dogs, I think. The owners have two really nice dogs, but one is a barker. The property is wild and full of places to explore. Tomorrow, I'm hoping to do more climbing and not worrying about remembering the dogs' names as my one piece of power. Today the barker, named Bailey, found me and sniffed my head as I sat on a rock, and I felt trully triumphant. I am a person who will cross the street if I see a dog coming on a leash down the sidewalk.
