Michael, Richard is headed east at this point.  He passed Monahans 100
miles west of Big Spring.  I would have taken U.S. 90 S from Van Horn,
or at least have stayed with I-10 just east of there, but Richard must
have places along I-20 that he wants to see.  He'll drive a lot of extra
miles this way.
