Caption this?


Keep on [mini-] Truckin'

Saw this on my travels today. I'm sure RPM (The South 40) could tell me exactly what it is.

My sense is that, at $4500, it's overpriced.



Extended cab, check. Light bar, check. This would be great for the deer lease.

If I had a deer lease...


Edit (for RPM's benefit): Stripper pole not included.

Our wild night in Cowtown...

Saturday night, we checked out an open house presented by the Texas Western Model Railroad Club, in South Fort Worth, on Anglin Drive. Over 700 rail cars and dozens of locomotives, probably tens of thousands of hours of meticulous craftsmanship on the scenery.



A hundred years from now, kids will still be doing this to their siblings in pictures...



I wish I had one of those PlasmaCam cutting torch tools - I could make art like this...


A little tour of the Water Gardens.

Note to self: Pack lens tissues with camera next time. On second thought, the effect is probably appropriate...



I'm like, not into tattoos, but if I were, I'd go to the Psycho Clown parlor. Wouldn't you?



Of course, all this sightseeing made us hungry. Then we spotted this sign, outside of a Mexican eatery on NW 28th Street. I'm guessing it probably suffers in the translation.


We went to Church's instead...

Burt Lancaster & Chuck Heston - HELP!

I need to escape from the Planet of the Apes!

Crazy Wicked Flying

My son sent me this video of stunt pilot Skip Stewart. If you're not into flying, don't bother. If you are, it's way awesome.

Giving Thanks

The only downside to this song has been pointed out by some commenters, that there are only two verses and no denouement. N'est-ce pas?

Just an old hippie...

I don't know what to do. Should I hang on to the old? Should I grab on to the new?


Some people say I look better this way...
