Leaving #alpinetexas.

Hanging out in the doctor's office in #alpinetexas.

Finally in #alpinetexas. Very swollen ankles. @Continental's contribution toward making this a 21 hr travel day.

Another 2 hours until I finally get out of Houston...another 6 or so before I finally make it to #alpinetexas.

House still warming up, but I'm calling it a night. Gotta get up early to head to #alpinetexas.
