Monday Meanderings - 1.17.2011

The TXDOT signs around Austin had this flashing message last week:

Missing Elderly Green Ford
License xx-0000

Could have used a little punctuation, I think.

Another sign - this one at Waterloo Ice House  - said "Stop in Queso Emergency"

We very seldom see the neighbors in back of us, but he was out grilling burgers the other evening. The only problem was it was cold outside and he was wearing shorts (perhaps) but put on a long coat to go out and grill. So the result is we have what looks for all the world like a flasher for a back-yard neighbor!

Police arrested two guys on horseback down on 6th street the other night. They were obviously drunk so the cops pulled them over (what did that look like, I wonder?) and hauled them and the animals off to jail and charged the dudes with drunk driving. After the guys pointed out that they were not driving, the horses were in charge and they were just riding along, a judge agreed and dropped the DWI charges. Latest word is that they may get them on Public Intoxication charges though. Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.


And speaking of someone else with too much time on his hand -
