Luckenbach, Texas, Population 3

I wasn't there with Waylon, Willie and the boys but it was still a blast to hang out with the newly married couple et al...

They had kick ass old fashioned lemonade here -- yes, it was freshly squeezed and super sweet

This fancy building house the bathrooms

My personal favorite is the "A AGGIE" plate...

At the post office you can get all of your Luckenbach gear and beer, lots of beer

Usually, I only take pictures of fake animals, but I usually don't see roosters perched up in a huge oak tree either.

Historic Homes

Some historic homes are made into museums, like the childhood home of LBJ

While others, like the childhood home of Chester Nimitz in Fredericksburg, are now arts and craps shops.

Johnston City

You should click to make this bigger so that you can see the guys climbing up the wall. This got my attention, but it was the house that made me turn around for pictures

Some one spent a lot of time doing this because there are shoes that are almost the same, but only one true pair.

This place had good food

And lots of stuff to look at

But what really made it special was that this was hanging over my head while I ate.

Swiss Alp

October 18

Swiss Alp is located on a little hill between Hallettsville and Schulenburg. Skiing, anyone? Maybe some mountain climbing?

Let's take a trip in the way back machine...

So does it make you a lucky lady if you surrender yourself to god in a run down bar in Corpus?

Here is a big rooster in Lockhart. I love fake animals!

And this is the Harvest Moon

A shout out to Master Officer Brooks!

Last week when I was in Houston, I had a blow out on I-10 during Friday afternoon traffic. I got very lucky, my tire exploded right before an exit. Right after I pulled all the way over on the access road, a cop pulled over a speeder. After he issued the ticket, he came over and called me a "friendly wrecker". I had never heard of it, but the wrecker comes and the guy changes your tire for free. Not that this Pineapple can't change a tire, but it was a lot cleaner to have someone else do it. I'm not going to turn down the offer to have someone else change my tire. Anyway, while we were waiting I got to talking with Master Officer Brooks. This man, even though he was an Aggie, was a lot of fun. When I told him I was from Austin, he said, "Don't tell me your one of those tea sippers." I replied, "alright, I wont tell you." After we had been chatting for a while he commented on all the rubberneckers. He guessed they were wondering if I was going to get arrested. Then he said, "If that wrecker doesn't get here soon, I'm going have you frisk me and give these people something to think about." I almost fell over laughing. Could you imagine seeing that as you were driving home on a Friday afternoon? Unfortunately, the friendly wrecker showed up then. Oh well. Maybe next time. Thanks for all of your help, Master Officer Brooks. You helped me out of a tight spot and made a crummy situation fun.

p.s. I never did get a chance to take a picture of that tire, but it was a sight because it was completely destroyed...
