Well it wasn’t stormy, but it was exceedingly
dark and I had been stuck in traffic for an
inordinate amount of time. So
knowing that I had a GPS, I turned off on a road that I thought went the
direction I wanted to go and headed west. Very shortly I was driving through a warehouse
district, and shortly after that a tree and field lined lane. I was exceedingly
happy to see lights of what looked like stores just ahead. The signs said, ‘Lakeside’
and I still wondered where I was. Eventually, with a lot of twists and turns
through rural Texas, my GPS got me back home. I was determined to find the
places I’d not seen in the dark and find out if there was anything interesting
in the area. It turned out that I’d been winding around through a corner of
Flower Mound, a city just north of Grapevine and west of Lewisville.
