80 degrees and blue sky in south Texas today. I wore a T-shirt when I walked my dog.

It's about time somebody put a stop to handing out unwanted straws. It's wasteful.

I wonder. What the boy is. SAYing. To his friends.

What a crybaby. He could EASILY build that museum in Corpus Christi, San Antonio, or even Austin. I'd go see it. So would a million other people here who have nothing else to go see.

Correction: Spielberg didn't work on Star Wars; that was Lucas' baby. They did collaborate on Indiana Jones.

Robo-rally is a fun game, especially when somebody makes a mistake and their robot just goes off wandering in circles.

Guess the 2 dogs are kind of slow to lean English.

Wow. All in one shot, too.

I'll bet that dog is fake. She has a cat in real life. Lots of cats. I can tell.

I used to have a mechanical Soviet watch that had Yuri Gagarin's picture on it. As long as I remembered to keep it wound up, the watch was very accurate and I only had to adjust the time every couple of months.
But last year the spring got unsprung in it. I took it to a jeweler who didn't know where to get a replacement spring for that old watch. Sadly, I had to throw it away.

Is that Natalie Merchant on the balcony?

Classic bell curve, like any industry.

The most wasteful city I've ever lived in.
