Yesterday

Here's some photos from University of Texas and the area around it.
 It was actually kind of hot yesterday! Here's some UTers taking a break on campus, and there's the Texas capitol building in the background. It's bigger than the White House I've heard!
The same grassy spot from the other end. There's the famous UT tower that the sniper shot a bunch of people from in 1966.
An interesting talk I attended that I imagine only about 3 people I know would also consider interesting. :P
 This BBQ shack is only twice the size of that ATM next to it!
 In Sweden the combination is shoe repairs and locksmith in the same place, here it's saddles and boots!
 One of the few buildings in Austin that have been forgotten while being built.
 Texas life is awesome! There are free donuts everywhere you look :D
 there's the previous building in the background
 right across the street from campus!
 Who is Tequila Mockingbird? That must be the coolest name ever!
 I thought it was funny that the name is in Spanish. Are Mexican immigrants the main buyers of autos usados?
I think that metal is there to keep rats from climbing the palm tree :D
 Peace, Love, and.... Texas!
 Some Mexican restaurant's parking lot
It's a jalapeno wearing a sombrero!

Fried sides or... no sides! You pick.
Why not fried pickles as a side?
 Here are these weird paying stations for parking in a privately owned lot. So outdated....
... you would think, this one looks awfully new. Don't forget to clear the slot!!!
 We had to pee but didn't want our beer to be taken by a waiter so we left a note.
 
These photos are actually not from yesterday or from near UT but I'm throwing them in too...
At the Zilker Botanical garden they have an old Swedish log cabin :)
Hey cat! Her toes are funny lookin.
The multi-colored local eggs I bought

HEY YALL!

This is a screen shot of the Broken Spoke's website. It's so funny!
What the heck is chicken fried steak?! It is steak or chicken? Might have to go there and find out...
They have free Texas Two Step lessons too :D

Random things round here and yonder

I like grapefruit! Not too much more to say about that...

 These dates were not made up! At least that's what the guy who had the pamphlets fervently declared.
I  bet he's gonna be pisssssssed on May 22nd.
Or should I say May 22st?
Actually after I took this photo I realized it was supposed to be 32 Street but... whatever 32st Street is funnier.

Here is my contribution to http://www.unnecessaryquotes.com/
This is on the bus I ride everyday to the university. I don't know why someone would get the idea to drill there, basically into the wall of the bus.
Oh yeah, and I looked into submitting something to unecessaryquotes.com and saw this message:
"  Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.  "

Haha! Guess it's not so crazy after all.

The most normal family ever, aka the Smiths!

Just another Christmas with the Smith family!





Visits to Key West = visits to awesome places on a boat!

While In Key West I got to visit a nice place with lots of cool stuff to look at.
Don't forget to click on the photo to view it larger and see more detail!
Here comes a close up of the weird red sponge thingy laying there...

 It's a little shell inside a big shell!
 I don't know what that is...


 See the little shell and the little shrimp trapped in the big shell? :D
 Shell city!
