Friday's Dispatch

Paluxy River

The water is so clear- this red eared slider is probably under 3-4 feet of it.

Give this raccoon track eleventy gazillion years and people will pay to  see it. What a bargain, you're getting in on the ground floor- for free.

• When The Levee Breaks by Zeparrella. It's better than the original.
• Just had an odd flashback to a dance at a barn near Flugerville when I was a young lad. These days we find out about things through the Internet- back then how did we find out about some dance in the middle of nowhere in a barn hundreds of miles from home?
• Homeless patients often give a fake name or nic name. Some recent winners in the fake category are, Fred Saywhat, John Grisham and the always cute Fay King- Faking- get it?
• Turner Falls is famous for it's spring fed swimming holes. You would be hard pressed to find anybody who spends more time there than I but I can't recall the last time I went swimming there.
• The weekend (02/02/2013) we are camping at Dinosaur Valley SP. A rite of passage in North Texas is to photograph your young-uns in the fossilized dino track prints.
• I almost said foot prints. I knew that wasn't right but track prints sounds odd to me also.
• Last Email I received: "I just finished with my pedicure. Now my feet look almost as good as yours!"
• I've watched a few episodes of Finding Bigfoot- enough to become a true unbeliever.
• My new watch is awesome. 
• Cops are among my unfavorite of people types. They are always very rigid black/white thinkers who cannot stand to have their thinking challenged in any way and as a consequence tend to very boring if nothing else.
• This laptop is eat up with ad/spyware- ridiculous. I literally could not see the beginning of the preceding sentence.
