If you had told me last week that I'd be sipping pink lemonade sold by future Shark Tank stars, fangirling over quilts, and eating the best pecan pie of my life (apologies to the Midwest hometown bakery scene), I would have asked if you were feeling alright.

And let me tell you: for a small town over a thousand miles from where I grew up, Odessa sure knows how to make a...

But I learned fast. It started at the Inland Northwest Rail Museum, where I figured I'd poke around a few vintage cars, take a photo or two, and head home feeling vaguely cultured. What I got instead was a deep dive into railroad history that included a private tour, an impromptu...
