Destination: El Paso, TX then upwards to Las Cruces, NM. [url=www.astrofish.net/travel.html]Details[/url] Weather? Blowing dust advisory. In other news, “Women are at their cattiest when [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3499697.stm]ovulating[/url].” (Not sure that really qualifies as news.) [url=http://www.5sob.com/]Thought[/url] I’d linked this before, the five stages of beer. There’s a 6th stage of beer, too, but only for folks who live … Westward bound
[url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0380977427/fishinguideto-20]Quicksilver[/url] by Neal Stephenson. I started this book back in January – it’s a good example of a novel that can’t be checked out of a library, not for me, anyway. There are a half-dozen dog-eared pages. Plus, there are as many, if not more, underlined passages. Near as I can tell, I’ve been reading … I started this book back
A tipping point. I was inspired by another [url=http://www.evilcabeza.net/]Sagittarius[/url], just the other evening. I was basically killing time, toying with some web development work that I should be doing, and not really willing to stretch my brain too far. So I was clicking through some Austin stories, and I reread this lad’s entry about tipping … A tipping point
I’m too tired for this. The Ramada Inn, in Lubbock? Bad service. Plus, they tried to add an additional 15% – or more – to my bill when I checked out Sunday morning. Just bad deal. Padding the bill, false advertising, like, no airport shuttle as promised, yes sir, just a nasty experience, all the … Bad notes
Post VD – Lucky sevens. I got into Lubbock around midnight. Lubbock was almost snowed in. In central Texas, I tend to stay completely off the roads when there’s any hint of frozen precipitation. In Lubbock, I wasn’t quite as lucky. I glanced through hotel directory, then I just figured it was best to catch … Post VD – Lucky sevens
That one picture. (hint: it’s in West Texas) I’m fixin’ to upgrade the journal software. I’ve been mightily impressed with [url=www.pmachine.com]this one[/url], so I was toying with moving everything over to their “pro” version, called “expression engine.” The install was slick and easy, but I have to wait a spell because the import function will … Valentine nod
Missing parts – Feast day of St. Julian the Hospitaler Know what this place is really missing? A flag. Just a plain, Texas flag. I should add, I do have a real one, up over my bed. And that St. Julian? Probably fictitious, the saint of alehouse keepers, travelers and circus performers. But if I … Feast day of St. Julian the Hospitaler
Snow Day! Yes, it’s Friday the 13th, and yes, I’m hopping a flight out of here. When I last checked the [url=http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=lubbock+tx]Panhandle[/url] weather, it said “possibility of freezing precipitation and snow.” Some kind of [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0783225725/fishinguideto-20]High Plains Drifter[/url]? Or just high plains (snow) drifts? Here we go, unrelated, from the stats page: Search term reqs: search … Snow Day
Two-meat Tuesday: the Llano Estacado and the Digital Divide The name [i]Llano Estacado[/i] is derived from Spanish, and the source of its namesake is buried under an onerous weight of mythology. Texas mythology is, as I would expect, a little heavier than most. Okay, the stories run along the lines of “[url=http://tapestry.usgs.gov/features/19estacado.html]Staked Plains[/url],” which might … Two-meat Tuesday: the Llano Estacado and the Digital Divide
