I've got one of those epi-pens used it twice this summer....dam wasps

for me the benedryl keeps the swelling at bay but I've got to get a steroids in my system to completely get rid of the reaction...

I have 2 in my car, but puckily haven't had to use them. I'm not deathly allergic to anything like that, but a good breeze on a fall or spring day will have my sounding like Darth Vader and Gilbert Godfrey at the same time.

Being that benadryl doesn't affect Tucker as far as allergic reactions go, I may start giving it to him as a sedative.

Ahh well glad the little guy's okay! Our little dachshund gets allergic reactions to ant bites, etc. but nothing major. A few years ago she jumped up while my little sister was doing batting practice and got cracked in the head pretty good, that was scary.

A friend's parents live on Lake Livingston. I love it up there

Half day, hunt for a few hours, then early Thanksgiving dinner with family tonight. It's going to be a good day.

Luckily I'm off today and get to make the 5 hour trek home. Just hoping traffic is a complete nightmare.

Have a safe trip. Do you do down Hiway 6 or the the other route, through Brenham?

To avoid the absolute cluster between Hillsboro and Waco, I'll probably head down 287 to Ennis then take 45 through Houston to 288.

Yep, 35 is a mess, plus always seems to be a congregation of idiots from Hillsboro to Waco. My wife can't handle the mess getting thru Houston. We have been known to leave 35 at Hillsboro, go to Mexia, then pick up 6 near Hearne.

Why don't you guys take 45 down? I don't know if there's something wrong with it or it's a mess too, but I thought it was a straighter shot into Houston. That's what I take to Dallas

That's what he said he is doing. 287 over to 45 at Ennis, then down to Houston. I avoid Houston when going to Damon, wife's nerves just can't handle the traffic.

Once again starting at 6 pm today, through Sunday at midnight, my wonderful state is imposing zero tolerance for speeding in honor of the holiday....

I guess I had better watch my speed...

Didn't know you had one. You have had some interesting vehicles.
