Some random fit pics-
Today-
Army For Japan tee, because it's 11/3/13.From a couple of days ago-
The wabash just gets better each time I wear it. Too bad it's getting warm again…And an outtake; this is when I miscounted on the camera self-timer. Oops.

OK, so it's about time for another post. This week is Spring Break for the kids and we decided to get out of Houston and go do something interesting. So we hitched the horses up to the wagon and hit the trail for New Braunfels, in the Texas Hill Country. Of course, that meant getting suitably fueled up. Did you know Red Bull comes in different flavors now? I didn't. Lime is only decent…
First day we had lunch at the Gristmill in Gruene. The Gristmill is in the historic section of the town of Gruene, right next door to the Gruene Hall. The Gruene Hall was built in 1878 and is the oldest continually running dance hall in Texas. The area overlooks the Comal River, though it's not much more than a creek at this point.
We also went to Natural Bridge Caverns, named for the natural stone bridge.
From that point, you go down, down, down into the caverns…
And see cave stuff, like stalactites and stalagmites and weird jellyfish like things.
Plus the occasional bored looking child
All in all, a pretty good day.

They're everywhere, aren't they? Waste of time to photograph one, really…

Oh God no.
I grew up in North Carolina; Charlotte, to be exact. I went to college in Arizona, then ended up in New Jersey for a few years. I met my Texas born and bred wife there and she "convinced" me to move here. I've been a resident alien for about eight years now.
It feels longer…

North Carolina is beautiful and New Jersey gets a bad rap. I'll fight you on those two, pig boy.

How do you start your day? I go with a breakfast of champions- random energy drink and semi-nutritious bar. Meanwhile, Benjamin gets an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba and yogurt.
Then it was off to the Austin Zoo & Animal Sanctuary. It's a bit different from a standard zoo, in that all the animals there are rescue animals. Nonetheless, there are still some fairly exotic creatures roaming around, like the most impressive peacock I think I've ever seen. Clearly unconcerned with people, too.
A few massive tortoises; I tried their method of keeping cool, but it didn't really work. Worth a shot…
Probably should have tried the red kangaroo's technique- laid out in the shade looks pretty comfortable.
Not really sure how this fits in with the zoo/animal sanctuary, but it's kinda fun.
The interesting part of the day ended with lunch at the world famous Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas.
Mmmmmm, brisket…

Peacocks are the most annoying animals in the world… There's a "cock" in there for a fucking reason... My neighbour had some, when I was a young boy living in the country... Those bastards are loud, and it gets worse when there's a couple of them... After a short while all you wanna do is set those beautiful feathers on fucking fire... I swear if anyone 'd sell peacock meat, I'd eat if out of spite...
I love the "Kickstart" breakfast though...
