Barton Creek Beast Barks!

A rather large and bizarre, otter-like creature was spotted in Austin's Barton Creek Springs over this last Memorial Day Weekend:


Evoking absolute terror in several local swimmers that day the beast was eventually captured by one intrepid aquatic animal expert who happened to be perusing those riparian shores...


After wrestling the biological anomaly back to river's edge calm was restored to the area, and the beast was whiske(ere)d away to a nearby 'Lab'oratory for further observation...


Once safely secured it was determined that the toothy specimen was at least ... part alligator!

(OK, this entry is utter crap-nonsense but I hadn't posted in a while...)

Hey Den,

I read the info from 1870...it was tired in the civil war era (through 1865), and is even more so today. This seems to be the battle between the idealists and the folks who reside in the real world. I could give you a plethora of examples, and will if tasked. I would like nothing more than a kumbaya experience with the rest of the world...but it isn't going to happen. Not in 1870, not now. Whether you realize it or not (it truly does not matter, because this has nothing to do with you OR your beliefs), you are a target, the same as me. The enemy does not care that you are more sympathetic than me...we are both Americans, and are the enemy. They do not care that you might reason for 5 seconds longer...they don't want to reason with you. You, me, Susan Sarandon, George Bush and Gen. Patreus are the same in their eyes...sorry. They don't care for any measure of sympathy, because that does not fit with their goal for the future. I share the same idealism, but I understand the human condition and its limitations. We do need to be prepared to effect the world we want to inhabit. The enemy has the same goal. They're winning, but we have potential. If you answer your phone I can get the details behind your thoughts! Check in soon...
