The message board photo is also on the cover of my book The Freeway. It was taken by amazing photographer Robin Maus of Wimberly, TX. She is well-known for her brilliantly hand-painted photos of funky, tropical scenes from Central America. Joe and I collect her work, and so does Joyce. For the six years it took me to write The Freeway I pictured a scene like this one for the book cover, and I always wanted Robin to photograph it. It far exceeds my expectations.
