Gotta say this for Texas: our leaders have their priorities straight. There’s not enough money for schools, food, or health care for our weakest and poorest, but our roadside rest stops have gotten some serious money poured into eco-friendly makeovers. (Not that I mind this especially, from a safety standpoint, but it does seem odd that we have no money for people or road maintenance, but there’s plenty to spend encouraging people to drive all to hell and gone across the state with gas prices through the roof and a serious lack of air in the air….)
Anyway I’ve hit several of these over the last few months; each one has its own theme, usually related to the area around it… (and all carping aside they’re very nice, and it’s REALLY nice to see TxDOT paying attention to environmental issues.) This one is outside of Corsicana on I45.
(Pay no mind to the bison; he’s big, but slow and (UNLIKE his furry compatriots) approachable… though when it’s close to a hundred degrees outside you might want to think twice about petting him. He DO get just a bit warm…)
