Lulu.com (older) version.
Either version is similar, if not exactly the same. The book is a collection of web writings from the web journal kramerwetzel.com, annotated, collected, collated, edited, and expanded. Contains some post-consumer waste.
The title’s name is derived from a certain BBQ place in South Austin. The collection includes bass fishing, astrology, and world-travel. It’s tidbits from the interior monologue of a working astrologer, living in South Austin, along the shores of what was, at the time, Town Lake, part of the Colorado River Highland Lakes chain.
Besides the BBQ, I’d tend to pick up a Houston Chronicle, or, in a pinch, a Dallas newspaper because the Austin newspaper was a poor excuse for a daily paper. The Dallas paper was vehemently right wing, and the Houston paper was quite “tabloid” in its news treatment. Either way, one or two items would trigger a thought process, spilled out into the web journal’s format. The goal was two meaty topics, and the book was originally envisioned as an afterthought. To this day, it still pleases me the most as there’s an essay about creativity, notes about bass fishing, and some European travel.
Inner workings of the astrologer’s mind.
