On I-10 West, just across the Sabine River from Louisiana is a sign that says, "El Paso 893 Miles."

The same highway goes through Beaumont, Houston, San Antonio, and 400 miles of desert with six gas stations before you get to El Paso, and there is nothing about that on the sign.

It's like that game on Star Trek where, every time you stop someone is saying, "Move along, move along home!"

Y'all should come to Louisiana. We'll feed you. Sure, it might be something you never thought sbout eating before, (or ever thought of as food,) but it'll be good and we'll get you drunk afterward.
