- Last night we went to the grand opening reception for Sab’s salon, Primp, which coincided with First Thursday. It was nice. He hired a little group to play jazz standards and a nice crowd assembled outside to partake. The requisite cheese and wine was there, which one tallish hippie-dude with smelly hair was particularly enjoying. He would walk up to where Phillip and I were talking and impale three to four cubes of cheese, refill his wine glass and stand there making small talk. His usual response to anything was ‘right on, right on’. All told, he probably ate a pound of cheese cubes. He had to be there for the free booze and music since his personal style seemed to refute any notion of things like cutting hair or shampoo. Why would you go to a reception for something you have no interest in?
- Today, during a 5-6 mile walk we spotted an enormous snapping turtle paddling in the clear water beneath the pedestrian bridge in Zilker Park. It looked positively prehistoric.
- Some neighborhood kids (I assume they’re kids) tagged the SBC box in front of our house again. This is the third time in a couple months. The first time I called SBC and had them come and spray paint over it. That took a few days. The last time I just got pissed and went to buy a can of spray paint to do it myself. That was last weekend. When I went outside today it was tagged again and this time the writing was much larger. I spray painted over it again. Let’s see if we can go for number four. I may set up my webcam to take a snapshot everytime there is movement outside in that direction. We’ll see. It pisses me off. I hope I can catch someone doing it. I’d like to talk to them.

Why go to receptions you’re not interested in? The free food! I went to stupid receptions all the time at Southwestern because they busted out the really good strawberries, crackers and cheese for the attendants.
hmmmm…..strawberries
