Specifically, directions to the Peace House?

Thanks.

7. Hm...
Edited on Tue Aug-09-05 02:35 PM by Goldmund
Now if you engaged your thought process a little beyond the Pavlovian, or should I say Bushian, black/white reflex, and actually read what I was saying...

You'd know that I think that Cindy should get as much exposure as possible. And that I think this is a great story.

People like Will Pitt, and the media in general, need to be there -- to get Cindy's story out. Also, other military families need to be there -- I think that would amplify Cindy's story without changing it.

A big mob of protesters whose only thing in common is their opposition to Bush, on the other hand, would fundamentally change the nature of the story, and make it into yet another deja-vu anti-war rally.

I'm really not going to repeat this any more. Piccard out.

23. Yup -- I thought the same.
Funny -- I say "don't go to Crawford", and then I told somebody to go get me a drink, and I had just said "don't GO" -- get it? I said "go", and then "don't go" -- that's rich!

27. Take US 290 from Houston to Austin, then follow those directions.
That's what I'd do.

2. Try to get out of Austin before rush hour.
Otherwise, what should take you 15 minutes might take you an hour and a half. 35 sucks.

4. Putting "shoot me" and Crawford in the same sentence is not a wise
choice of words.

Having been to Texas, I don't envy you your trip, but I certainly admire and support your effort.

6. Head Towards Crawford...
when your nasal passages begin to burn and you are overcome by the stench of Bu$h*t, a funk so powerful that it can melt the very words of our Constitution. It's either Condisleeza's breath, or the Chimp himself, but at least you will know you are there!

9. I can help
If you come up I 35, you want to take the Belton, Ft hood, Killeen Exit and get onto 317 heading north. Stay on 317 all the way thru Moody, Mcgregor, and when you get to Crawford, you need to look for a green sign on the right that say OCEE..its a real small town,

It will be over the rr tracks, and on the left just past the tracks.
Hope this helps.

17. I have shorter directions if you are interested.
They are off the beaten path but will keep you out of Waco and save about 40 miles.
Let me know if you are interested.
It's not interstate though.

18. Will, important update to Goldmund's directions....
His starts you off somewhere around the UT campus.

I assume you're going to be coming in at Bergstrom, which is way to the east of town.

You're going to need a different starting place.

Try this one.....

That's where Mapquest puts you when you just put "Austin" as the starting place.
