I'm Back!

Revenge is wicked, & unchristian & in every way unbecoming, & I am not the man to countenance it or show it any favor. (But it is powerful sweet, anyway.)
- Mark Twain, Letter to daughter Olivia, 12/27/1869



Wow! Ages since I entered anything here. What? A year? More? Nevermind, I'm back again. Fun flies when you're doing time. I took the photo in the Aquarium in Corpus Christi, one of my favorite towns in Texas. We went down to catch the last of the summer surf. We drove down the east side on the back roads and it was relaxing and fun. The idea of getting to the destination as quickly as possible, like prison rape, is vastly overrated. It was fun seeing the little towns with their post offices on main street, the cotton fields and the coast line as we got nearer to town. I love Corpus but for the wrong reasons. Its the only major city in Texas that has lost population since the Second World War. It has an infrastructure to support twice the population it currently has so you drive down these big empty boulevards feeling sort of like you've come out of the mineshaft to discover the city is empty. The people are nice there too. Eat at the Water Street Oyster Bar. You'll go back again.
