Turn Off Your Mind Relax and...
Man, I am tapped out. I got nothing. So, here's a picture of Sara Tomassi. I found it on a poker blog about Hoyt Corkins getting robbed.
Enjoy.

Disaster in a Medium Sized City
News of this derailment has spread quickly through our community. Lyle Lovett and Willie Nelson have already pledged to organize a benefit concert next month for the victims of this tragedy.
My Reunion
Last night was a blur and I want it to remain that way. I had my first big blow out in several weeks and woke up on the patio this morning. I suspect it was induced by the ennui I have been subjected to at work.
I met Sean after work last night at the Veranda for a beer or two, but it wasn't very long until Mr. Whiskey visited our table. We were about to head home when we met some "ladies" and kept drinking with them. They were older ladies, but seemed like fun.
The next thing you know, they talked Sean and myself into going to Houston's for a drink or two. We ended up eating there and drinking until closing. I haven't mentioned this in this forum before, but I was banned from Houston's in February due to dishonest bartender and my friend Loren's drunkenness.
Danielle was our bartender last night and she was very happy to see me and filled me in on the details of what transpired after the ban. It seems that the dishonest bartender was despised as a result by the other bar tenders (or so I was told.) My memory of the Houston's experience fades after that conversation, no doubt reinforcing the owners decision to ban me.
We headed back to the Veranda for one more drink and I headed home to some hungry dogs.

Old Austin
I ran across a very cool site the other night that has historical pictures of Austin's roads from the 50's up through the present. Click Here.
This is 290 & 81 (now IH 35) sometime in the 50's. I am marveling at how much space there is on the roadways. Oh for a simpler time. Well maybe not. I do enjoy the tech boon we are in which nurtures my ADHD. Click photo to enlarge.
Here's a pic of 6th & 7th Streets at IH 35 looking south taken when I was 6 weeks old.
