    Its funny but when we lived in Houston, I would have never ever gone to a city pool.  Austin's got a different thing going on with its pools, depending on where you are.

    My office is a few short blocks from Ramsey Pool in Rosedale.  Come summertime it opens up and is a great place to jump in for a swim in what is some of the cooler pool water in Austin.  They use a big aerator thing to recirculate the water and, man, it could be 100 degrees and that water feels great.  I'll walk from my office and take a quick swim for lunch.  Its amazing, clean and free.

    Its very old school, a bit run down (bathrooms are a time capsule) and quiet but its perfect.  You have to envy the people who are lucky to live right along Ramsey Park.  Place must be a perfect summer job for neighborhood kids.

    Took swimming lessons there as a kid. Looks exactly the same today. Crenshaw's used to be just across the street.

    I didn’t t realize that Sorrell Brooke, the guy who played Boss Hogg in The Dukes of Hazzard, was fluent in French, Latin, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, German, Greek and Italian, and knew a decent bit of  Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, Dutch, Persian, Polish, and Swedish. 

    Now I want to hear Boss Hogg say "Rosco, that road better be shut down tighter than a tick's ass!" in every one of those languages.

    I loved Valentina's.  Always good at the trailer.  Always good at the Austin FC games.  They struggled from day one when they opened the new, large location in Buda.  I've been to the Buda joint three times.  First time was excellent.  Second time was embarrassing.   Final time was just okay.

    It's hard to stay up and running when you have to stop stealing your employees' tips.

    Had my old housemate from 20 years ago stay with me for a few weeks. Damn, that girl can smoke. We went through an ounce of good shit her last three days here. I miss her rolling skills. 😄
