Backseat Blogging

Hey everyone, now that the boys have forfeited their blogging positions to get a little rest, it's my turn to blog!
I've been enjoying the ultimate road trip from the backseat, taking in the landscapes of Oklahoma and Texas. Riding as a backseat passenger isn't so bad with a full Internet connection. Our blog posts and having the ability to chat with all of you has kept us busy and entertained. Have we explained to you exactly how we're able to blog from the backseat of a car?
Here's how it works: We're using Charlie's new MacBook with a wireless Internet card. The wireless card has a CD software which we installed and now we can pick up an Internet connection from anywhere, yes even the middle of nowhere Texas. We're also fully equipped with a Nikon still photo digital camera, which KOMU's Caroline Gable has been using to capture our favorite moments, and a Panasonic digital video recorder. Jen Reeves, who is hanging back at the station, has been very helpful getting us all set up and showing us how to use this amazing technology. Blogging definitely beats those backseat rides in the old family minivan!
Looks like Jen thought we were disconnected for a while in rural Marlin, Texas, but we were actually stopping to dig up a little Missouri Tiger history and taste the finest BBQ Marlin has to offer. Check our next blog for a full explanation of what we did and saw... and ate in Marlin.
Right now we're about 3 hours from San Antonio, we'll have more updates for you soon.
