One PowerPoint file
Many many editors
What could go wrong now?

Virtual Monday

April 21, 2026 ~ John Ellsworth ~ Leave a comment

Taking Monday off

Avoids the Monday blues.

In theory, at least.

In most cases (like today),

Blues just move to Tuesday.

Long Way Home

April 20, 2026April 20, 2026 ~ John Ellsworth ~ Leave a comment

The county changes

Miles and the hours passing by

Yet still in Texas

West Texas Supper Time

April 19, 2026April 19, 2026 ~ John Ellsworth ~ Leave a comment

Pick a place to eat

Everybody in the car

Let’s hope it’s open

Davis Mountains

April 18, 2026April 19, 2026 ~ John Ellsworth ~ Leave a comment

Long wavy flat road

Along Texas One Eighteen

Mountains everywhere

Fort Davis

April 17, 2026April 17, 2026 ~ John Ellsworth ~ Leave a comment

Open hours roulette

Always have another choice

Maybe the next town

Marfa Lights

April 16, 2026April 17, 2026 ~ John Ellsworth ~ Leave a comment

They don’t come out every night.

All the stars do, so it’s alright.

The stars at night

Are big and bright.

Clap, clap, clap, clap.

(If you know, you know.)

New Slogan

April 15, 2026April 17, 2026 ~ John Ellsworth ~ Leave a comment

One famous Texas slogan is

“Don’t Mess With Texas.”

(It was an anti-litter campaign.)

After driving from Dallas to Ft Davis,

The new State slogan should be:

“Texas. It’s really a two-day drive.”

Corrections And Clarifications

Yesterday, I libeled nachos.
I blamed them for my gas.
Today, I leared it’s burritos
That are the pain in my ass.
Amen.

Nachos

Bean and cheese nachos.
The perfect food.
Although the farts
Are kinda rude.
Amen.
