Well, at least there was Jennifer Lawrence. Oh, and the theater had a groovy Christmas Tree.

Below the Dam
As the sun began its early descent, I embarked down the hill below the North San Gabriel Dam. This is a nice, paved trail that takes you to the base of the Dam where the rushing water outlet allows the San Gabriel River to continue on its path through Georgetown. When the days are longer, I will return to explore more of this area.
Voodoo Doughnut III
This one is called the Dirt Doughnut – “Raised yeast doughnut with vanilla frosting and Oreos!” So many flavors to try…
Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken
Some pretty yummy chicken can be found at Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken. One of the most casual joints in downtown Austin. My dinner consisted of chicken tenders, baked beans, mac & cheese, sweet tea, chocolate chess pie, and vanilla Blue Bell ice cream. A perfect Southern meal.
Now
“All we have is now. This moment right now.”
Citizen Alert…
Hello citizens of Austin. If you have lost your cuddly lion toy, it can now be found on the South side of Town Lake just before you step onto the new Boardwalk Trail, as some kind soul has placed it on a wall for safe keeping. As a secondary alert, the rains are over for now and sunny weather is predicted for the trail for today and tomorrow.
Purple II
Purple is a royal color for a Christmas tree. 🙂
LifeLock
I have had two major financial problems in the last few weeks. Today, I woke up to find out that someone visited a South Austin Bank of America ATM and in two withdrawals, cleared out my checking account. Not sure how they accomplished that, because my ATM card has been in my wallet the whole time. Lucky for me, I keep most of my account in savings. Last week, I discovered one of my credit cards had multiple Best Buy purchases for the same amount – $378.86. I am working with Citibank to get the fraudulent charges removed. Do you ever worry that you have too much information floating about on the Internet? I’m officially worried now. LifeLock has a free 30 day trial to prevent identity theft, and I am going to experiment with their service to see how they can help. In the meantime, I can enjoy the $0.26 left in my account – I’ll try not to spend it all at once.
Street Corner
The Georgetown Square as seen from the Southwest street corner during the Holiday Season. Most awesome. 🙂
Frisbee Golf
I was hanging out at Old Settlers Park with co-workers and friends this afternoon. According to their site, there is an 18-hole professionally designed disc golf course that is open for play seven days a week. These shots are taken at one of the holes as the sun was about to finish up for the day.
