It continues to rain in Austin. I had a quick, dry lunch inside Santorini Cafe in Austin today – lamb gyro and iced tea. This is a pleasant spot on North Lamar Blvd. and I need to return on a sunny day and make use of their cool patio.

Another Fallen Tree
This is the second large tree that I have seen taken down by the recent storms in Austin. What a beautiful tree this one was! 😦
Lake Austin
Curtain Theater
On Richard Garriott’s lakeside property in Austin, there is a replica of the Globe Theater called the Curtain Theater. A performance of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” was scheduled for tonight, but then the rains came. The show was cancelled at the last minute, and then the rains went away. Oh well, what can you do?
Snow Monster
The Snow Monster. You win based upon your name alone. Here is how it works. Approach the counter and check out your options on the menu display. Select your size – I got a small. Choose your flavor for the groovy shaved ice – I got Coffee flavor. Pick some Snow Toppings – I got Oreos. Get a drink – I got a bubble tea. Enjoy! Yes, it is that simple and truly an awesome discovery to begin the summer season in Austin. If only they had a Sno Mo a little further north…
Firebeatz – Where’s Your Head At
Here is a good EDM tune to get stuck in your head. The Firebeatz version has been playing on the radio lately.
Another Rainbow
Two rainbows in the same week. I think that is a world record for me. Pretty impressive, huh?
Adelbert’s Brewery
I continue my search for the best Wit beer in Austin. Today’s contestant was Adelbert’s Brewery. The beer of choice was the “Naked Nun”. Pretty tasty! The Brewery specializes in hand-crafted, Belgian style ales. On certain nights of the week, they open up the Brewery for happy hour including games, food trucks, bands, and beer sampling. Check the website for details if you would like to plan a visit.
Vulture Babies are Grown
It has been about 2 1/2 months since the two tiny little vulture babies were hatched in a secluded corner of the buildings at work. If you want to learn more about the Black Vulture, Wikipedia has some helpful information, as does NeoTropical Birds. The babies have grown in size and are no longer shy creatures that sit under a tree or in the corner. They will now gladly greet you as you are entering or leaving the building. I suspect that they will be gone within a few days, but here are some last photos before they leave us.
Jurassic World
Dinosaur fights are the best.
