There is a small Oktoberfest Celebration going on at Banger’s this weekend, so I thought I would stop by for a pint. They boast to have the largest tap wall in Austin, with over 100 beers on tap. My choice was a Belgian-style Witbier called “Freetail Rye Wit” from the Freetail Brewing Company in San Antonio. It was very enjoyable as the sun started to set for the day.
I don’t think the Monarchs were aware that a Book Festival was underway…
Here are some scenes from a most beautiful day at the Texas Book Festival. It is so cool to sit in on the discussion panels and then to roam the grounds of the Texas State Capitol.
A few friends and I went downtown for a brief event this evening. Once we bailed out of the place, we headed over to Frank & Angie’s for a pizza. Our selection was Italian sausage, Canadian bacon, spinach, and jalapeño. It was a tasty pizza and a nice dinner.
So this little dude shows up on the office window today and hangs out for a while to observe the human species at work. He flew off to observe other things after a short inspection period. I was wondering if he considered himself a butterfly or a moth. The following quote from the Library of Congress website might help you decide.
This movie would make an excellent US-based companion to Cartel Land. Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin, and Benicio Del Toro all did a great job!
Thinking about New Mexico and experimenting with Pixlr. 🙂
On my way back home this evening, I stopped off at the Shin Oak Observation Deck to watch the birds and to enjoy the sunset. This viewpoint is part of the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge, and offers some nice photo opportunities.
