I went on a trip to Austin, Texas a couple weeks ago.<\/p>\n

There was still snow in Tulsa and they were spraying the planes with what looked like pepto-bismol.<\/p>\n

They had the plows going also<\/p>\n

Dang it, this is Tulsa, OK at the end of March, not Fairbanks in January, anyway, we got the word,<\/p>\n

Big Bird, you are cleared for takeoff.<\/p>\n

I got to Austin and the Texas skies were blue and the temperature was warm<\/p>\n

See the flag. Texans are very particular about the flag. Years ago I worked at a natural gas processing plant in Texas right on a major highway. If the college kids we hired put the flag up upside down, people would be pulling off the highway left and right to make sure we took it down and put it up right. You see its a five pointed star and your always have two of the points pointed down. God help you if you mess it up.<\/p>\n

The SXSW Music Festival was winding down and the Sixth Street area was busy (sorry for the blurry photo)<\/p>\n

I saw this leg lamp in a store window. Too bad it was closed, I know my wife would want one of these. Maybe if I ever go back. Can you carry a leg lamp on a plane, or do you have to check it?<\/p>\n

\"DSCF2929\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I got homesick thinking of my wife, Sweetie, and how much she would love that lamp. Then I got even more homesick when I came across this shuffleboard parlor.<\/p>\n

\"DSCF2928\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Playing shuffleboard, that is our deal. Too bad she wasn’t here with me.<\/p>\n

A former residence of the writer O. Henry was right across the street from my hotel. He was an awesome short story writer and I love short stories.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0894\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I got a pretty good tour of east Austin while geocaching during a three hour lunch break one day. Its a real interesting area. Big time gentrification going on so you have a mix of the old and the new.<\/p>\n

I absolutely loved the murals in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0901\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_0899\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Interesting Idea for a Neighborhood Watering Hole<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0934\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I loved this house for some reason.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0932\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I loved this place also.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0935\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Right down the street this modern building.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0936\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, I love this but its like, is the offset of the second floor for a reason? Or just because it looks cool. I’m ok with it either way, I just want to know what the deal is.<\/p>\n
