Model Train Show

It is time for the Holiday Model Train Show at ArtSpace in Downtown Round Rock.  It is a series of dioramas surrounded by train tracks.  For a $5.00 donation, you can control one of the many trains circling the exhibits.  For some reason, this entertains me for long periods of time.  Check it out if you find yourself in Round Rock for the Holidays.

The Round Rock ArtSpace had their First Thursday Art Reception this evening, and it featured Día de los Muertos art and artists.  My favorite painting was called “Bella Catrina” by Jennifer Estes.  Also, if you find yourself near Round Rock this Saturday, there will be a celebration downtown in the evening.

Drugs…

My drugs for my tooth infection are starting to kick in.  The swelling is going down and the pain is relatively manageable.  One side effect is that the pills upset my stomach.  The bonus is that I will lose some weight for not eating so much.  After spending most of the day in bed, I ventured down the street to watch the second half of the football game.  We’ll see how this goes…

Bedridden

This broken tooth has been one of the most painful events of my life.  I have been mostly sleeping all day, because that seems the best way to cope.  In between long naps, my iPad has kept me company.  Take some pills, watch Netflix, cruise social media sites and play a few simple iPad games like Star Wars Commander.  That is my life today.

Butterfly or Moth

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.

“One of the easiest ways to tell the difference between a butterfly and a moth is to look at the antennae. A butterfly’s antennae are club-shaped with a long shaft and a bulb at the end. A moth’s antennae are feathery or saw-edged.”
