This Prada display is a piece of Art work 8 miles in any direction from anything. the not as fat, fat guy in the mirror

Today was a killer for me physically. I only thought yesterday chip seal shoulder was wearing me out. That and I have no energy it seems at all.

This art work was donated by the estate of a local ranch owner and maintained by another. I guess there is lots of money in cotton, pecans, and cows.

Made it to Valentine, Tx in time for a good break. This is the war memorials going into town. Everything is closed except the Library.

The Kay A Johnson Library in Valentine, cool place and story. Also only place to get good water from the outside hose.

Kay Johnson passed away a few years ago and her daughter and friends converted this old house on the highway into a small library. Lots of dignitaries, political personalities and Generals have contributed from all over the world. Kay Johnson lived in Austin and owned a ranch out here to get away  and rest.

The inside of the library.

The sunset again spectacular I am beat.

I only got 20 miles today. I am completely done in. My skin is wrinkled and won’t pass the pinch test for water content. When I get off the bike I am dizzy and weak feeling – I have run 6 liters of water through me and am not retaining any. Sounds like a combination of dehydration and low blood pressure. The two often go together and not totally unexpected. So tomorrow I stop taking the water pill as part of my BP meds regime. That is good news.
