We enjoy a romantic walk in the rain along the River Walk. Would make a great scene in a movie.

We fight our way through the traffic construction from hell, and then deal with the world’s snottiest desk clerk. But the hotel was terrific

We explore the Blue Star District, and have a Halcyon meal.

I meditate on Finnish, Japanese, Proto-Indo-European, Finnic-Uralic, and whether I’m secretly a Neanderthal in disguise.

We’re off to San Antonino, and some standup from our favorite Finnish Comedian, ISMO!

The last entry on our visit to Marfa, home of wild art and wilder nature.

Off to visit kids & g’kids, so no post this Thursday. Back Sunday! Enjoy this video & Happy New Year! 🎉

Mooey the Gawd-Dang infuriating Rubber Cow almost gets pitched head first into the broiler. [head] Paisano And Out

And we're off to the amazing Big Bend Saddlery!

Happy Holidays, everyone!

We explore Alpine a bit more, and I think deeply about mercury and madness.

We visit #Alpine, Texas, a cool little city on the edge of the Beyond.

We get a tasteless meal and lousy service. Gourmet dining at its best.

And we’re off to the magnificent El Paisano Hotel. And then we have, alas, a downright un-magnificent dinner.

At the last minute, the Gingerbread House is saved! And then...it vanishes. (Sigh).

More on Marfa, and we begin the sinister construction of the recalcitrant Gingerbread House.

We enjoy some Bitter Sugar coffee and then, in a town full of expensive restaurants, have lunch at Burger King. And like it.

Just a happy thanksgiving...and turkey blimp. #Thanksgiving #Marfa #turkey #balloon

In which we deal with our grandson doing his air raid siren at the end of the world impression. #Marfa #Art #Donald_Judd

More about Marfa, the improbable desert art colony, plus Mooey, the marvelous rubber cow of BOINGing fame.
