I like dry arrid heat, but it seemed to me like Houston and SA got a little on the humid side, which I'm use to but I would rather sit and bake rather than boil.
slaughter.............have you ever gone cow tipping? until then you have no idea how fun it is in WI
Cow tipping is plenty well available in the south, but I wouldn't call it fun....
That was a damn good time. I felt like Ma Walton in Vegas.
Drunk Texans need to werd up when in Yosemite. The whole raucous lounge went momentarily silent and turned on the bleery eyed, goofy-assed couple with the brown paper bags in their laps when I let out a loud "sheeeyit, negro ... That's all you had to say!"
sounds like yall had a great trip! We've been there in both winter and summer. Its my favorite place on Earth.
It's one of my very favorites, too. Eric hadn't been there since he was very young and that made it even more fun. My daughter must have met 50 people while we were there - foreigners seem to flock to her like she's a multilingual dictionary.

Hey man, leave me out of this one - you're the one who momentarily forgot you were in a National Park lounge and not in a back room poker party of a Chicago blues club.

How could I have forgotten? We were surrounded by Prius driving, Tai Chi harmonizing, walking talking REI ads the whole weekend ... Not to mention the CostCo crowd seemed to have followed us.
Speaking of Priuses - Remember the totalled Prius we saw on the flatbed parked outside of the Casa Di Crap fruit stand back in the valley? I seem to have offended once again. My malicious chortling of "Bitch is makin ZERO emissions now." didn't seem to be appreciated by the owner who was walking back to his wreck with a sack of mustard dijon pesto smoked almonds.
Funny stuff, y'all. Sounds like you two had a helluva good time. Never been to Yosemite but y'all sure make it sound like a place to visit!
Curry Village Lounge after dark is somewhat of a free-for-all, Pablo. You've got loud families, Christian youth groups, treehuggers, and a plethora of foreign visitors, all vying for a small number of rocking chairs, tables, and places to sit around the huge fire on a crappy rainy day in the Park. It rained all day and night on Easter. We got up early that day, had a great brunch, and went back to the cabin for a nap. It was still raining too hard to go hike when we woke up, so we went to the village store, bought wine, a bunch of dice, a small puzzle, and some dorky memory game and got to the lounge early, while everyone was eating dinner in the restaurants. We snagged a great table in the corner and camped out there all night, drinking, playing games, reading, and just being buffoons. We got plenty of sad wanton glances all night long from bored moms and dads with armfuls of small restless toddlers, watching us in the corner with a well-behaved older teen, having the time of our life.
I know y'all really need the rain in Texas but Eric and I are just pining away for some sun to dry us out and are looking forward to a hot and dry time out in the Hill Country next week. Maybe we could strike a bargain with the weather gods and go 50-50 ...

I swear it's true.... Texans can light a place up like no other and I know you two can set it completely ablaze!
Don't forget the rain when y'all drag yourselves back to Texas next week.
PB, you gotta go sometime. As much as I know your appreciation for the natural world and outdoors, you would love it there! And yeah that place could use a little more Texan 'color'.
Please PLEASE don't jinx us with rain in Texas, buddy! I know y'all need it like mad but as much as you're sick of the hot and dry, we are every BIT as fed up and disgusted with our constant gray soggy Seattle-esque weather. Sorry to let you down but we are crossing our fingers for hot and dry that weekend.

Well, it looks like you'll get the dry weather wish here in the BA this week. Feel free to drag any impending rain storms to Texas when you go. I'm finally able to drive the Viper again. I'm going to put as many miles on it as I can this week. Clear and dry - finally.

I believe we've actually surpassed Seattle for rain this calendar year. Woot! - NOT!!!!!!

I just got home from imparting two weeks of the Texas lifestyle on coastal UK and France. Rural Brits are just like Texans. I think you could party with that crowd in a big way, Pablo. They are totally pissed about how the Parliament is curbing their hunting. Some of the old guys still stroll out of their homes with that "I'm going to stick my pitchfork through Jerry's eye!" glare. Badasses of a different sort and their version of the Greatest Generation.
The French? Still pussies. They got every bit of Aggie I could muster and were regailed with many a story of me giving Tony Parker a beatdown everytime he rolls something new out of his garage.
Next stops on the Angry at Whores World Tour: Montreal and Munich.
SE/WW. PM's inbound to you after I take a brief nap and unsully myself of non-Superpower stench.

Since y'all seem to have the rain mojo right now, I'll just let things work out as they will... Any rain jinx I might cast would be worthless compared to the Cali rain mojo that y'all apparently have. If it's going to rain soon down here, it's going to be later this week or possibly this weekend. I'm not excited about hosing your weekend but we noshit need some rain... Dad told me this weekend that Travis was down like 30 feet. More importantly, the milo and sunflowers I sowed weekend before last needs that life giving liquid held so dear in West Texas..

Good to see you back, Brian. From what I've read, the Euro-Russian hog is making a big comeback in the UK. They curb hunting too much and they'll all be swimming in pig shit before they know it.
