The cartoon got exactly one thing right about the roadrunner, which is that it would much rather run than fly. 🏃 Everything else about the real bird is better than the cartoon.

A greater roadrunner can hit around twenty miles an hour on foot, which is faster than most people can manage, and it uses that long tail like a rudder to corner without slowing down. It can fly. It simply does not care to, so it mostly glides off a fence post and gets back to sprinting. It is a member of the cuckoo family, it is roughly two feet long from beak to tail tip, and it has a bare patch of blue and orange skin behind the eye that it can flash when it wants to be noticed.

What really sets it apart is what it eats. Roadrunners take insects, scorpions, tarantulas, mice, and lizards, and a pair will work together to kill and eat a rattlesnake. They also have a specific cold morning habit where they turn their back to the sun and lift the feathers on their nape to expose a patch of black skin underneath, warming up like a solar panel before they go to work. That is the bird standing out on your caliche road at sunrise looking like it owns the place, because functionally it does. 🦎

Texas has an entire class of highway that exists because farmers got tired of hauling cotton through mud. 🛻 They are called Farm to Market roads, and roughly half of all the state maintained highway mileage in Texas is made up of them.

The idea took hold in the 1940s. Get the back country out of the mud, pave a connection from the fields to the nearest town with a market or a rail depot, and do it one road at a time, county by county, until the whole state was stitched together. What came out of it is a web of narrow two lane blacktop with numbers instead of names, running between fence lines and over cattle guards to places that never grew big enough for an interstate. Texas maintains more highway miles than any other state in the country, and a great deal of that mileage is exactly this.

Those roads also happen to be the best part of driving here. No billboards. No merging. A low bridge over a dry creek with somebody's initials pressed into the concrete in 1963. You come over a rise and there is nothing on the other side but more of it. 🌾 An interstate gets you there on time. An FM road is the reason you leave two hours early.
