What Gets Me Through the Day

Cam: Someone really needs to find a Tailspin clip right now.

Ryan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_cMaGt52QE&feature=related

Cam: what a great show

Ryan: Do you remember when they filled the plane with icecream so the heat seeking missles wouldn't get them?

Cam: hahahaha, no

Tolley: I loved that show

Me: I never got Tale Spin. So the bear from Jungle Book learned to fly?
I was always confused by the characters.

Tolley: there were actually a few characters from Jungle Book that were in Talespin. If it wasnt far fetched that Baloo could talk, why is it far fetched that he learned to fly a plane?

Cam: Was he the actual Jungle Book character though?

me: I didn't say it was far fetched. I just never knew if that was him or not.

Cam: so, mogli grew up and Baloo decided it was time to grow up and start a career as a pilot?

Tolley: yeah, bears live forever...like parrots.

Cam: Alright, all cleared up.

Texas Update

It has been about a month since we first arrived in Texas. We are liking it so far. Thanks to having some contacts down here that can show us around we have been able to do a lot of fun stuff already. We were introduced to the San Marcos River on our second day which was the 4th of July. We were told that we only had about two weeks to get in the river before before we were banished from the city. We saw the Martindale Parade, which was awesome as you can see from a highlight below:




I went on a day long barbecue trip that started at Snow's and ended with a two hour wait at Franklins.







We saw the world's largest urban bat colony,




and the Alamo.




So far, though, the highlight of our Texas adventure has been the Alamo Drafthouse. This might be my favorite spot on the planet. I know I have some other places to check out still and I have only been to the Alamo Drafthouse once, but it is a pretty solid bet. Take a look at the website and signature events and tell me this place is not awesome.
