Isidore left a voice mail for me last night at 1:33 AM (called the office so he wouldn't put me into a panic trying to answer the home phone so late.)
He was in Big Spring, TX, which means he had traveled 1322 miles (per the AAA on-line TripTik) between 4 AM and ~1 AM. Speed calculates to 62 mph, right at what AAA says to estimate.
Pretty amazing.
This leaves around 1071 miles to I-5, taking ~17 hours at a steady riding pace. If he left at 8 AM local time (late for him...), he should arrive around 11 PM PDT (2 AM here.) That leaves 4 hours cushion in which a nap might be taken. I doubt he'll do so--probalby concerned about getting into town in time to find a police officer to witness his presence in the jurisdiction.
Total trip length will be at least 5300 miles...not bad for a couple of weeks. Longest trip yet is Dallas to Bellingham to Victoria to Bellingham to Dallas--3 weeks, 6000 miles (also traveling for a speial event--wedding--in the same brother's life.)
So, the cat and I wait to hear from him. She's upset about having been cooped up all day even though she wouldn't have ventured out during the thunderstorm, anyway.
I picked up a few movies. The list may say something about me (I picked ones that said "Free with Membership") or about how many theatrical releases I miss.
Looking forward to the missed movie festival.
