Government intrusion

I was reading this post over at Say Uncle. Scooter got arrested. It seems that his ex-wife has an ax to grind a called the BATF (or whateverthehell they're called this week) about Scooter's guns.

It's a damned travesty, and you can read all about it at the link. Drop some money in the defense fund.

Anyway, I decided to check my referral logs, and I see that I am being visited by nefarious agents from the state of Texas. Specifically, the State of Texas General Service Administation. To those folks, I say welcome. I love the state of Texas. Considered it a second home for a number of years, and I frequently visit there and spend my tourist dollars.

Milady and I are planning a trip to the Big Bend country this summer. I've never been that far south, because I normally get hung up around San Antonio. Did you know that the fair merchants of San Antonio will make you a marguarita just about any time you ask for one? And you can buy them by the pitcher? San Antonio is a wonderful town, as is many of the lesser known towns in the area.

Anyway, welcome, Texicans. Drop a note in comments and let me know what I need to see. We'd like to go to El Paso and hop across the border, then sit back and enjoy a little local flavor. Let me know what I'd enjoy, and what I should avoid.

I also notice a referral from Boulder County Government in the state of Colorado. Boulder is a weird town. I spent a lifetime there one week and decided I had seen enough. It's pretty, but it is weird.
