The Texas Department of Transportation has begun work on a new project by my house to connect Route 1 (MoPac) up to I-35. Everyday Bay and I see their progress, and it is pretty amazing. A couple weeks ago, there was just a big field, with longhorns grazing lazily. Now that field is has been dug up and leveled. It is amazing to see all the construction equipment at work, which right now consists mainly of big trucks and tractors. I’m not sure what that machine in the picture does, but it looked really cool. I enjoyed looking at the cows, longhorns, goats and the occasional deer that would appear in the field, now I guess I will have to get my farm animal fix elsewhere….
