Foamy, the squirrel with the rants, has good take, vulgar, at best, on the hurricane situation. Foamy’s Hurricane Report.
Copano Bay fishing pier to change administrative hands.
Bad Science all over the place.
Eat local (kind of a no-brainer here – but I wonder if that includes Sandy’s Thursday-Saturday special?)
So I was late arriving at Sandy’s as Bubba & Bubbette were polishing off a couple of cones. We chatted until the little woman decided it was still hot outside, and there was some question as to when ACL Fest was going to occur. it’s not this weekend, and as such, there’s certain quietude pervading the landscape.
From the math dept.:
I know I’m doing this wrong, but the way it works, the usual special has gone up in price. It’s now $2.79, or, with cheese and tax, $3.40. Plus the sign is gone. So dinner cost $3.40, but a double shot of espresso at Jo’s which was about $2, then some Amy’s to top off the espresso? $3.25. So dessert cost more than the meal itself. All in the name of getting some laundry done.
However, I did arrive at the perfect balance, at least in the ice cream (Mexican Vanilla) – an Amy’s “small” plus just two shots of Jo’s espresso.

Which is a colorful view of the Thursday morning’s catch, a purple worm and frog-looking Zara Spook.
As fishing footnote, I was having entirely too much fun with the fish. Some folks might’ve been frustrated, but that pair of bass from the other day?
They kept circling. They’d hear the little fishes feeding and chasing my lures, and they’d pop on around to see what was up. Some of the littler fellers would grab the baits, but them small guys couldn’t get the hook in their wee tiny Large Mouth. Resulted in many nibbles, but few real takers. In other words, my real targets? The bigger fish? They wouldn’t take the bait.
It really was entirely too much fun, though, as I was using everything, throwing topwater, plastics, everything. It was chance to see what worked. Or what didn’t work.
