It's Hot...You Need Cool Things

Discovered that East Sixth has a Cool Store. Represented by water and dolphins...and Elvis. Don't know what they sell but a good guess would be...cold beer!

Sinner's Brunch

Last Sunday we caught the Sinner's Brunch group at Jo's Hot Coffee on South Congress. I think you can catch Jo's house band every Sunday. I would call it Country Rock. See pedal steel player on right. Tina Rose singing. We have to get down there again. Maybe today. Says on Jo's facebook that the band will be fronted by Greg Izor today. 

Tote Your Plants

At Shedd Nursery in Old West Austin they have little red wagons to collect your purchases and take them to your car. They always display a nice example out at the curb. I like to think that if I lived in the neighborhood I could just haul the plants home and return the wagon.

Mural Puzzle

I shot this on a trek east of IH35 but I don't know what it means.Livestrong is Lance Armstrong's motto for his cancer foundation but the accompanying art work is a little puzzling.

Pray for a Dial Tone

Walked on East Cesar Chavez yesterday. Our Lady of Guadalupe seems to be helping you with that phone call outside a convenience store.

Tattoo Lady

This picture got left out of the recent tattoo series (from the Easter pet parade) and I thought it really needed to be included.

Shy Moon

Much has been made of the moon lately as it achieved its perigee unobstructed by earth (full) a couple of nights ago. Night before last I was sad that the clouds were hiding it when it peeked out for a look. Closer than usual or not it made an interesting picture.
