East Texas

Why can't people speak English in East Texas? I know they have an education. Certainly that's not how they teach them to speak...

And why do they eat so many "TATORS"?? Man, I'm glad to be back in civilization.

10 Years Later

We will always remember 11/18/99. The 12 lost, the dozens injured, the uncountable lives that were changed. Here.


This is the first Bonfire Remembrance video I saw. I think I originally found it on the campus hub. It's the one I continue to watch each year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWWrCu_uPt8


This is a new one put together by The Batt. They incorporated Aggie symbolism, which is fitting as Bonfire embodied the Aggie Spirit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIP4LW4g5yY&feature=youtube_gdata

Recent Trips

This is a shot of where my GPS tracker has caught me over the past 6 months.
















I like to use this tracker for this very reason. Just so I can pull up a map and look at it. It chronicles my adventures. Not too exciting, but somewhat interesting to me alone.

I'll be expanding this map pretty soon with an upcoming trip to Seattle/Vancouver. Most of this map is obviously centered in Texas, with brief trips to NC and Florida. I'll be expanding the Florida portion real soon also. I did make a brief trip to Nevada and a short stop in Arizona this year, but that was almost 11 months ago.

Favorite Trip? North Carolina. I enjoyed the rounds we made to the different Universities and visiting the "College Towns." Though, not as high profile as the others, I liked the hospitality at NC STate. The campus at Duke was the nicest I've seen.

Favorite Trip in Texas? I always enjoy the trips to Alpine. I got a short visit when I was there last, though the Holland Hotel was closed for renovations without informing me. Punks.

Favorite New Trip in Texas? I've been to Boerne before, but never stayed over night. I enjoyed the quaint city. Lots of interesting people, good food and finally a nice hotel!

Least Favorite Trip? Well, Laredo is not on there (I went early in the summer), so it's got to be Beaumont. I'm there way too often. It's the worst. At least I got to stay clear of the panhandle.

How About This

How about I don't resolve to start posting more. How about I just post when I feel like it. No matter how infrequent that is?

39 Poll

I saw this on TV.

The question: "How often do you text?"
"Text your answers to 39 News"

My foil turtle agrees that opening day at Freebirds is a magical time.
